Joao Felix leaves Chelsea to join Al-Nassr
The 25-year-old Portugal international moved to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid last summer, having had an earlier spell with the Blues on loan in 2023.
He made 20 appearances for Enzo Maresca's side in the first half of the season – but started only three Premier League games – before leaving for AC Milan on loan in January.

'We thank Joao for his efforts across his two spells at the club and wish him well for the future,' Chelsea said in the statement.
Felix has signed a two-year contract with his new club. Al-Nassr have reportedly paid an initial £26million transfer fee, although add-ons could see that rise as high as £43million – close to the sum Chelsea paid Atletico for his services last summer.
He joins his Portugal team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, who announced his arrival with a short video on social media in which Felix said: 'I am here to spread joy. Let's win together.'

Matheus Cunha was the first to make his way through the door at Carrington, with United paying Wolves £62.5million to secure the Brazilian's services. United followed that up by completing the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford last month. However, a striker capable of leading the new-look forward line remains on Amorim's shopping list and the 22-year-old Sesko certainly appears to fit the bill with at least one enthusiastic endorsement to his name.
