Last month, the Portuguese forward landed in Riyadh to put the finishing touches on a two-year deal which kick-started his career in Saudi Arabia. The 25-year-old had two previous spells at Stamford Bridge, including a loan in 2023 and a permanent move last summer which did not work out in the end.
Felix has been busy with Al-Nassr and has already provided 4 goals in 3 appearances for his new club. Benfica had been working hard to bring Félix back to the club, but Al Nassr hijacked the move and the attacking midfielder has now explained how Ronaldo played a huge role in recruiting him.
"Ronaldo? You can see he's building something here and doing his part in developing the project. He was one of the first to talk to me about coming here, and when he talked to me, I felt a wonderful moment and a beautiful feeling, and that helped convince me."
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has been the face of the Saudi Pro League for a number of years. He recently committed his future to the league and Felix opened up more on how the league is evolving and how he wants to help Al-Nassr to silverware.
"I feel like this league is evolving a lot. Every year, more players come to play here. The project at Al Nassr is good and exciting. Of course, I want to help the team and the club as much as possible, score goals, provide assists, and help them win games. And most importantly, I want to help Al Nassr win championships.”
