Joao Felix has left Chelsea and signed for Al Nassr in a deal that could reach £43.7m.

Chelsea confirmed the move in a statement on their website on Tuesday.

The figure is made up of an initial £26.2m fee and £17.5m in potential add-ons.

“Joao Felix has departed Chelsea and signed a permanent deal with Al-Nassr.

“The Portugal international made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Blues last season, netting seven goals following his summer move to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid.

“He spent the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at AC Milan and has now departed the Blues on a permanent basis, joining Saudi Pro League side, Al-Nassr.

“We thank Joao for his efforts across his two spells at the club and wish him well for the future.”

According to Sky Sports, Felix’s former club Benfica were previously in talks to re-sign the 25-year-old.

However, Al Nassr have now completed their move for Felix as they go all out to try and win the Saudi Pro League, having extended Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.

Also the club have appointed experienced Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus as their new head coach.

Selling Felix, meanwhile, will allow Chelsea to accelerate their move for RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simons, as further new signings this summer are dependent on exits.

Felix re-joined Chelsea permanently last summer from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £46.3m after a previous half-season loan spell at Stamford Bridge in 2023.
