Portugal’s Joao Felix officially joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on Tuesday, teaming up with fellow Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo in a high-profile move valued at approximately $260 million over his career.
Felix transferred from Chelsea for an initial fee of 30 million euros ($34.6 million) and signed a two-year contract with Al Nassr.
The club shared a video on social media featuring Felix expressing excitement about his new chapter: “I’m here to spread joy. Let’s win together.”
Felix, 23, brings youthful energy and technical skill to complement Ronaldo’s experience and leadership on the field.
Felix’s move underscores the growing trend of European stars joining clubs in the Saudi Pro League, highlighting the league’s substantial financial investments and ambitions to become a major player in global football.
At Chelsea, Felix had established himself as a key contributor in the English Premier League, and his partnership with Ronaldo is expected to create dynamic attacking opportunities for Al Nassr.
The club’s management anticipates that Felix will make an immediate impact, helping the team pursue its goal of regional dominance and global recognition.
As Felix begins his journey at Al Nassr, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this powerful duo will shape the future of the club.
