Portuguese forward Joao Felix has agreed to a two-year contract with Saudi Arabias Al Nassr, where he will reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, as announced by the club on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old made a high-profile transfer from Benfica to Atletico Madrid in 2019, but his career has taken a downward turn since then.
Im here to spread joy. Lets win together, said Felix in a video posted on the Riyadh clubs X account. A separate post said he had signed until 2027.
He remains one of the most costly transfers on record, having moved to Atletico for 127.7 million euros 147.3 million six years ago. Since then, he has not been able to score more than ten goals in any season, despite playing for Barcelona, AC Milan, and Chelsea.
As reported by Arryadia, a sports newspaper in Riyadh, Felix is set to receive 10 million annually.
