Al Nassr Finalizes Transfer of Joao Felix
In a significant move for both player and club, Al Nassr has finalized the permanent transfer of Joao Felix from Chelsea. The Saudi Pro League team has reportedly secured the talented forward for an initial fee of €30 million (approximately £26.2 million or $35.2 million), with potential add-ons pushing the total deal value to €50 million.
Joao Felix’s Career Journey
Joao Felix, now 25 years old, has garnered attention not only from various clubs in the SPL but notably from a major team in Portugal, reflecting his standing in European football. Felix rose to prominence during his time at Benfica, where he showcased his potential as one of the most exciting young talents in the sport. This acclaim was underscored when he made a high-profile transfer to Atletico Madrid in 2019, solidifying his status as one of the most expensive players of all time.
After a stint on loan at Chelsea during the latter part of the 2022-2023 season, Felix secured a permanent position at Stamford Bridge in summer 2024, netting seven goals in 20 appearances. Following another loan spell at AC Milan for the second half of the 2024-2025 season, he expressed a desire to stay at the Serie A club if given the chance.
Reunion at Al Nassr
Felix’s arrival at Al Nassr will see him reunite with his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as fellow Portuguese international Otavio, adding to the team’s already impressive roster. This transfer positions Felix for an intriguing chapter in his career as he continues to develop his skills in the Saudi league.
