The market continues to provide surprises, and one of the most striking could be closed in the next few hours. Al-Nassr is very close to securing the services of João Félix, in an operation that has rapidly accelerated, leaving Benfica practically out of the race, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
The Saudi club has already submitted an official proposal to Chelsea to sign the Portuguese forward outright. Furthermore, they have also made a contract offer directly to Félix, who is reportedly seriously considering accepting the proposal.
The negotiations are very advanced.
All signs point to the final details being ironed out in the next 24 to 48 hours. If completed, the transfer would be a significant blow both to Benfica, which had hoped to reclaim the player, and to other European clubs that were also closely monitoring his situation.
João Félix has had a rollercoaster journey since leaving Benfica. He went through Atlético de Madrid, then Chelsea, and most recently Barcelona, where he played on loan last season. Although he has shown glimpses of his quality, he has not managed to fully establish himself as expected after his breakout in Lisbon.
Now, Al-Nassr sees him as a great opportunity to strengthen their squad with a young, talented player with plenty of room for growth. Saudi Arabia continues its strong investment in well-known and promising names, and Félix fits perfectly into that profile.
The financial offer put on the table by the Saudi club is said to have been crucial for both Chelsea and the player to be willing to progress with the operation.
In the coming hours, the final points of the agreement are expected to be defined. If all goes well, João Félix could soon become a new player for Al-Nassr.
