João Félix Seals Move to Al Nassr in €50m Deal

João Félix has officially signed for Al Nassr on a two-year contract, with the Saudi club agreeing to an initial €30 million fee plus add-ons that could take the total deal to €50 million. The clubs agreed on this initial fee, with additional clauses detailed in the agreement.

FÉLIX JOINS AL NASSR IN RECORD MOVE

Al Nassr have completed the impressive signing of Portuguese forward João Félix from Chelsea. The Saudi club will pay €30 million up front, with additional clauses that could see Chelsea receive up to €50 million in total. This move comes amidst Al Nassr’s strategy to attract top European talent to strengthen their squad.

Félix posed alongside club director Simão Coutinho and told fans, “I’m here to spread joy. Let’s win together.” The 25-year-old will wear the famous yellow and blue and play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo under new manager Jorge Jesus, with Al Nassr looking to end their six-year league title drought.

FÉLIX’S JOURNEY: FROM EUROPE TO THE SAUDI PRO LEAGUE

Félix’s move comes after a difficult spell at Chelsea, where he failed to fully settle—first on loan and then as a permanent signing. Last season, he managed to score five goals in 19 games for Chelsea before his loan to AC Milan, where he was sent on loan afterwards. Benfica, his former club, were reportedly interested in bringing him back, but Al Nassr’s offer and promise of a leading role, along with a substantial salary reportedly estimated at €12 million per season, helped seal the deal. Félix joins a squad with big ambitions and experienced international stars, most notably Cristiano Ronaldo. The arrival of manager Jorge Jesus, who is known for his connections with Portuguese players, could help Félix rediscover his best form.

WHAT NEXT FOR AL NASSR AND FÉLIX?

Al Nassr finished third in the Saudi Pro League last season and will be looking to challenge for the title again with the arrival of Félix. They want to close the gap in the new campaign, which kicks off in mid-August. Their first match will be against Al Shabab, a challenging opponent from last season.

Al Nassr hopes Félix’s creativity and link with Ronaldo will help them start strong and push for their first league title since 2019. For Félix, this is a chance to revive his career in a new environment, playing a key role at a club desperate for silverware. He aims to make a significant impact alongside Ronaldo, as stated in previous reports.
