Chelsea Football Club have announced the exit of João Félix on a permanent deal to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabia based club Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese international was initially close to returning to his boyhood club before the deal with the Blues collapsed. However, Al Nassr presented a better offer to Chelsea in their quest to win the Saudi Pro League having extended Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.
The 25-year-old made 20 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season, netting seven goals. Despite failing to establish himself in either of those two seasons Chelsea have been able to recoup all that they spent to sign him.
How much did Chelsea sell João Felix to Al-Nassr?
Al-Nassr paid €50 million for Félix, the figure is made up of an initial €30 million fee and €20 million in potential add-ons.
He rejoined Chelsea permanently last summer from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £46.3 million after a previous half-season loan spell at Stamford Bridge in 2023. The Blues have raised £135.7m from sales, while their net spend for the window is £82.3m.
