Joao Felix has said yes to Al-Nassr’s proposal and the two clubs are now finalising terms according to Fabrizio Romano.
Felix was thought to be closing in a on return to Benfica, and it was said the Blues were in negotiations with the Portuguese giants.
However, Saudi side Al-Nassr have come in for Felix, and look set to hijack the deal, with the Portugal international now seemingly on his way to Saudi Arabia.
Joao Felix says yes to Al-Nassr
Chelsea have been busy this summer and have made three attacking signings in Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, whilst they are also closing in on a deal for Xavi Simons.
Whilst incomings are important, Chelsea also have a number of players they need to move on, and Felix falls into that category.

The 25-year-old arrived last summer for £45m from Atletico Madrid, but spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, and is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
The expectation was Felix would rejoin Benfica, but he’s now seemingly on is way to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League, and Romano has provided an update.
He took to X.com and said:
“João Félix and Al Nassr, deal considered at final stages with Chelsea and player side!
“Understand João said yes to Al Nassr proposal and the two clubs are finalising terms.”
Christopher Nkunku next to leave?
With Felix on his way out, the Blues are still trying to find a solution for Christopher Nkunku who’s also expected to leave the club.
