Portuguese striker João Felix, at just 25 years old, is set to test his skills with his sixth club, stepping outside Europe for the first time in his career.
Details: Saudi side Al-Nassr have officially announced the acquisition of the player from London’s Chelsea. The transfer fee remains undisclosed, but Transfermarkt reports a figure of €30 million. The personal terms of Felix’s stay in Riyadh have not been revealed, though the club’s press service confirmed he has signed a contract running until 2027.
Background: Over his professional career, the 25-year-old forward has represented Benfica, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Milan. He made the most appearances for the Spanish capital’s side, who paid nearly €122 million for him in the summer of 2019.
In the summer of 2024, Chelsea bought Felix’s contract from Atlético for €52 million, but the Portuguese spent half of the previous season on loan at Milan.
