From Benfica to Riyadh: a volatile talent trip
Although it does not exceed 25 years, Joao Felix carries a rich march in fluctuations. His name shined in his beginnings with Portuguese Benfica, where he was considered one of the most promising European talents, before moving in the summer of 2019 to Atletico Madrid in a huge deal that made him one of the most expensive players in history.
However, his career in Spain did not come to expectations, to move in the 2022-2023 season to Chelsea on loan, where he played 20 games during which he scored 7 goals. In the summer of 2024, he completed his permanent transfer to the “Blues”, but his area in the squad diminished, spending the second half of the 2024-2025 season loaned to Milan, where he expressed his desire to stay with the Rossoneri if the opportunity had the opportunity.
A new partnership with Ronaldo
By joining Al -Nasr, Felix will join his compatriot and the icon of the world football, Cristiano Ronaldo, in addition to Utavio, who represented the Portuguese national team for years, to form a Portuguese trilogy that may be one of the most prominent keys to play in Al -Nasr next season.
This deal comes within a series of bold moves by victory to strengthen its ranks with international players, in light of the fierce competition at the local and Asian levels, and the team’s endeavor to achieve the AFC Champions League and World Cup for the upcoming clubs.
With the closure of the controversy over his future, Felix appears to have finally obtained an opportunity to write a new chapter in his career, this time from Riyadh, where personal aspirations intersect with a wide spherical project led by Saudi Arabia towards the world.
