Joao Felix leaves Chelsea to join Al-Nassr

Joao Felix has left Chelsea to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr on a permanent deal. 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.'

Mets-Pirates Projected Trade Sends Two High-Powered Arms to New York

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Mets have a lot going for them this season, but they need to step on the gas at the trade deadline. New York's lineup has underperformed slightly, and could use a center fielder. But if they're going to exhaust more resources on the deadline, pitching is the more urgent target. The Mets' bullpen in front of closer Edwin Díaz has been overworked, and in late June and early July, that bullpen struggled mightily. The trade for ex-Baltimore Orioles left-hander Gregory Soto was welcome, but more moves can and should be made. MIAMI, FLORIDA - MARCH 30: David Bednar #51 of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitches against the Miami Marlins in the ninth inning of the game at loanDepot park on March 30, 2025 in Miami, Florida.

Photo byMight the Pittsburgh Pirates be interested in a major trade involving six total players? That's what Ryan Finkelstein and Jay Staph of Just Baseball believe is forthcoming. On Sunday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Mets would land Pirates closer David Bednar and setup man Dennis Santana for a package of infielder Ronny Mauricio, center field prospect Nick Morabito, and pitching prospects Jack Wenniger and RJ Gordon. "With Diaz, Bednar, Santana, Raley, Soto, Reed Garrett, Ryne Stanek, and Jose Butto, the Mets bullpen would be absolutely loaded," wrote Finkelstein and Staph. "Prying two arms may prove to be too costly, especially as the Mets will likely want to stay away from the very top of their farm system for relief pitchers. Still, the Mets can offer a package with a combination of arms to replenish their system and bats that can help sooner than later that could entice the Pirates." Bednar broke a two-month streak of not allowing an earned run on Monday night, but still picked up his 17th save of the season. Meanwhile, Santana owns a 1.39 ERA and minuscule 0.84 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings. Parting ways with Mauricio, in particular, is a risky gambit for the Mets. But it's the type of gambit a team in win-now mode has to consider. More MLB: Blue Jays Must Address This 'Urgent' Flaw At Trade Deadline, Says Top MLB Analyst
