- Felix leaves Chelsea to join Al-Nassr
- Blues fans relieved to see Felix exit
- Felix signs two-year contract
The الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز giants confirmed that Felix has formally completed a permanent transfer to الدوري السعودي للمحترفين giants Al-Nassr on Tuesday. The official statement from the Blues read: “Joao Felix has departed Chelsea and signed a permanent deal with Al-Nassr.”
Felix enjoyed a brief, temporary stint in 2023 at Stamford Bridge, but he returned to Atletico after the loan spell. The player, however, returned to England last summer and managed to make 20 appearances for the club across all competitions, where he scored seven goals.
As Felix’s nightmare at Chelsea finally ended, the Blues fans expressed their delight on social media as they were relieved that the Chelsea flop had finally moved out.

Dougmoney claimed that the Premier League was above the striker’s standards as the post read: “He finally found his level, England was way above him. Hope he doesn’t also struggle in the camel’s league. Talent is never enough.”
Joseph D posted: “An excellent example of don’t go back to your ex, no matter how good the memories are.”
An X handle named @theadeszn wrote: “THANK YOU JOAO FELIX, YOU WON’T BE MISSED.”
Ansh thanked his favourite for finally offloading Felix as he wrote: “Omgggg best bit of business this summer. Thank you for making my day @ChelseaFC by selling, hey ho Felix.”
Correio da Manha had earlier reported that Felix has agreed to sign a two-year contract, which will see a significant rise in his pay. From the €8 million (£6.9/$9m) per season salary at Stamford Bridge, the striker will now earn €17.5m (£15m/$20m) per year at Al-Nassr.
The reigning Club كأس العالم champions will reconvene for pre-season next month and are scheduled to play two friendly matches against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan at home before they kick off the 2025-26 campaign with a Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
