According to Fabrizio Romano, Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr are in advanced negotiations to sign Portuguese attacker João Félix, with the aim of hitting his expected return to Benfica.
Romano reports that Al Nassr has submitted a permanent transfer proposal to Chelsea and a contract offer to João Félix himself. Allegedly the deal is almost complete, with only definitive details that are still discussed in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Félix, who came on loan from Atlético Madrid in 2023 at Chelsea, was connected to a return to his boys' club Benfica. However, the aggressive chase of Al Nassr – supported by considerable financial support – has placed it in pole position firmly.
If the deal arises, Félix would participate in the growing list of European stars that move to the Saudi competition, which adds further attacking firepower to the Al Nassr team, which already includes Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané.
