Joao Felix launched Al Nassr
The Joao Felix deal to join Al Nassr has finally been completed. The Portuguese striker left Chelsea to find the Saudi Arabia team and the two parties will stick with the contract that lasts for 2 years.
Earlier, Felix had contacted the old team Benfica to discuss a contract. But the phone call from coach Jorge Jesus as well as Ronaldo made Felix change his mind. The former Atletico Madrid star moved to Saudi Arabia to play in the Al Nassr shirt.
Even Ronaldo also “played big” when he would send the Bombardier Global Express 6500 aircraft to the Portuguese juniors. The plane led Felix to land in Austria – where the Al Nassr team was gathered before the new season.
