Joao Felix hopes Cristiano Ronaldo Link-Up can reignite a booming career
Joao Felix has completed his Al-Nassr relocation, the latest move in the forward’s global travel career.
Felix signed a two-year contract with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, with Saudi Arabian paying Chelsea’s initial €30 million.
“I’m here to spread happiness,” Felix said in his speech. “Let’s win together.”
It’s another extraordinary business for Felix’s agent Jorge Mendes, the 25-year-old continues to show no signs of fulfilling his teenage potential.
Boy kick: Fabulous Felix at his feet
Felix has scored 43 games in the live field at Benfica and scored 20 goals in 43 games, making it considered the most exciting young player in the world.
His profile convinced Atletico Madrid to soar £13 million in 2019, bringing him to La Liga – still the third highest transfer fee in history.
Having a disturbed relationship with Atleti boss Diego Simeone – the infamous mission director – saw him struggling for body and fitness, eventually he was loaned to Chelsea for the rest of that season in January 2023.
The subsequent turn to Barcelona loan made him look appropriate again, and while the cash-strapped Catalan side did consider making the deal permanent, they earned a huge contribution to Dani Olmo.
Felix was eventually sold to Chelsea by the arena, and Conor Gallagher moved in the opposite direction, which may be related to the PSR requirement, with Portugal worth £45 million.
He signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge, but within six months he was on a trip again, this time lending to AC Milan.
Rossoneri’s return with three goals in 21 games is not enough to stay in San Siro, who will now start a new chapter in the Middle East.
Agent Mendelewitsch criticizes Felix and Mendes’ role in career
It was another down move, although FIFA-licensed Agent Jen Mendelewitsch had little sympathy and believed that agreeing to relocate Saudi Arabia confirmed that he was no longer interested in becoming an elite footballer.
Mendelewitsch is also impressed by Mendes’ role in Felix’s career.
“It’s sad when you know his potential. But he’s an example of what to do when a young player with potential.
“We can ask all the possible questions. Actually, it’s everyone’s fault. In other words, the player decided to indulge in projects he doesn’t like. I tried to defend him, but Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Chelsea, Milan, he tried to restart himself in Barcelona. He had a great time on Xavi. I mean, these are attractive clubs to recover.
“Some people talk about football mercenaries, others talk about victims of the business. In either case, he is a perfect example of the trap many talented young players can fall into. There are rumors that he will return to Benfica.
