Joao Felix completes Al Nassr move, reunites with Cristiano Ronaldo
Joao Felix unveiled as Al Nassr player
Portuguese international João Félix has officially joined Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr on a two-year deal, the club confirmed on Tuesday. The move sees the 25-year-old forward reunited with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, adding another high-profile name to the growing list of European stars in the Middle East.
Félix, who burst onto the global football scene with a record €127.7 million transfer from Benfica to Atlético Madrid in 2019, struggled to find consistency during his time in Europe. Despite brief loan spells at Chelsea, Barcelona, and AC Milan, the forward failed to rediscover the form that once made him one of football’s most sought-after young talents.
In a welcome video shared on Al Nassr’s official social media platforms, Félix declared: “I’m here to spread joy. Let’s win together.” While initial reports pointed to a two-year agreement, the club later clarified that the contract will run until 2027.
The move to Saudi Arabia marks a fresh chapter for Félix, who will now have the opportunity to rebuild his career alongside one of football’s greatest icons. His arrival further reinforces Al Nassr’s ambition to dominate the regional league and elevate its global profile.
The Saudi Pro League continues to attract top-tier talent as part of a broader push to boost its competitive edge and international appeal.
