The striker of the Portugal national team, Joao Felix, has opened a new page in his career. Recently, he left the English club "Chelsea" and moved to one of the richest teams in Saudi Arabia — "Al-Nassr". It is said that in this transfer, the personal influence of the famous star Cristiano Ronaldo played a big role.
According to reports, the first to announce this transfer was the publication Correio da Manhã. This source emphasized that Joao would receive more than double the salary in his new club compared to what he got at "Chelsea". That is, if the 25-year-old footballer earned 7 million euros per season in London, now he will have a much higher income.
"Benfica" was also in the race for Joao Felix, and it is known that the club, which raised him, offered an annual salary of 3 million euros for his services. However, with the initiative and influence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Felix decided to move to the Saudi "Al-Nassr". This decision was also in his favor financially — the sheikhs will pay him a salary of 17.5 million euros for each season.
A well-known football insider, Fabrizio Romano, wrote that the price of this transfer was 30 million euros, but the amount could rise to 50 million euros depending on the footballer’s effectiveness and results.
In conclusion, this transfer became not only a new team for Joao Felix but also a financial increase and a new stage in his career. And fans are following with great interest what results Felix will achieve in Saudi Arabia.
