Portuguese international Joao Felix will join Cristiano Ronaldo in signing a two-year deal with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, according to the club’s announcement on Tuesday.
In 2019, Felix, age 25, made the big move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid, but his fortunes have since deteriorated.
“I’m here to make people smile.” In a video posted on the Riyadh club’s X account, Felix remarked, “Let’s win together.” He had signed until 2027, according to a separate post.
Following his six-year move to Atletico for 127.7 million euros ($147.37 million) six years ago, Felix continues to be one of the most expensive transfers ever.

Despite playing for Chelsea, AC Milan, and Barcelona, he has since failed to score more than 10 goals per season.
Felix will make $10 million a year, according to Arryadia, a sports newspaper in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia has resurrended football by investing a lot in European stars, starting with Ronaldo’s arrival in 2023, and the conservative desert nation will host the World Cup in 2034.
Many of the signings have been aging stars, but Felix and Mateo Retegui, both of whom scored the most goals for Serie A and joined Al Qadsiah last week, are in favor of this trend.
Theo Hernandez, 27, left AC Milan for Al Hilal earlier this month in a reportedly $29 million deal.
Top coaches have also been drawn to Saudi Arabia, including Simone Inzaghi, who led Al Hilal to a lopsided Club World Cup victory over Manchester City.
Felix will work for Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who was fired by Al Hilal in May after their semifinal defeat to the Asian Champions League.
