- Felix set to play alongside رونالدو
- Al-Nassr on verge of hijacking بنفيكا يتحرك
- In advanced talks with تشيلسي
Felix was poised for a homecoming as he was closely linked with a move back to boyhood club Benfica. The forward has wanted to end his nightmare at Chelsea after just one season and head out of Stamford Bridge this summer having already spent the second half of 2024-25 on loan at ميلان. The Blues placed a €54 million (£46m/$62m) valuation on the البرتغال international, exactly what they paid أتلتيكو مدريد العام الماضي.
As Benfica were preparing to negotiate terms with the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز side, Al-Nassr joined the race and are now on the verge of hijacking the move, according to فابريزيو رومانو. The Saudi giants are in advanced talks with Chelsea and Ronaldo’s club are also in touch with Felix’s representatives. Al-Nassr remain hopeful that they will reach an agreement in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Benfica president Rui Costa was reportedly eager to sign Felix in time for the Eusebio Cup clash against Jose Mourinho’s فنربخشة on Saturday, which the Portuguese side ended up winning 3-2. He was personally involved in talks alongside agent Jorge Mendes and hoped to give fans a symbolic reunion with the forward.
If a move is completed on time, Felix could join Ronaldo and the rest of the Al-Nassr squad for a friendly against تولوز on Wednesday at the Untersberg-Arena in Grodig.
