Saudi club Al Nassr officially announced on Tuesday the signing of Portuguese star Joao Félix from Chelsea during the current summer transfer window, continuing their strategy of attracting world-class talent to the Saudi Pro League.

The club revealed the deal through its official account on the platform "X" (formerly Twitter), posting a video of Félix in the team's kit. The player appeared saying: “I’m here to enjoy, here to win,” delivering a short but powerful message that reflects his competitive spirit and ambition with the club.

Joao Félix’s move to Al Nassr marks a new chapter in his career, following high-profile stints with Benfica, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, and most recently, AC Milan. During his loan spell at Milan, Félix played 21 matches, scored 3 goals, and provided one assist, leaving a positive impression.

According to Saudi newspaper Al-Youm, Félix signed a two-year contract with Al Nassr, earning a massive €35 million per season, making him one of the highest-paid players in Saudi league history. The financial terms underscore Al Nassr’s serious commitment to building a powerhouse team capable of dominating both domestically and continentally.

Félix will now join forces with fellow Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, team captain, forming a dynamic duo expected to significantly elevate Al Nassr’s attacking strength in the upcoming season, especially in the Saudi league and AFC Champions League.

Fans of Al Nassr quickly flooded social media with excitement, celebrating what many see as one of the most high-profile signings in the region this summer, as competition intensifies among top Saudi clubs to recruit global football icons.
