Chelsea forward Joao Felix joins Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr in £43.7m deal

Chelsea forward Joao Flix has joined Cristiano Ronaldo at  Al Nassr after signing with the Saudi Club in a deal that could reach 43.7m (50m). The figure is made up of an initial 26.2m (30m) fee and 17.5m (20m) in potential add-ons. His former club Benfica, were previously in talks to re-sign the 25-year-old. However, Al Nassr hijacked the deal and have now completed their move for Felix as they go all out to try and win the Saudi Pro League, having extended Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract. Felix re-joined Chelsea permanently last summer from Atletico Madrid for a fee of 46.3m after a previous half-season loan spell at Stamford Bridge in 2023. The Portugal international made 20 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season, netting seven goals. Despite failing to establish himself in either of those two stints, Chelsea have still recouped almost all of what they spent to sign Felix permanently. They also banked a 5m fee following Felix’s loan move to AC Milan, where he scored three goals across 19 appearances, in February. In total so far this summer, Chelsea have raised 135.7m from sales, while their net spend for the window is 82.3m. The post Chelsea forward Joao Felixjoins Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr in 43.7m deal appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
