Barcelona forward Joao Felix could be set for a sensational switch to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Nassr emerging as strong contenders for his signature.
The 24-year-old Portuguese international, currently on loan at Barcelona from Atletico Madrid, is reportedly considering a lucrative offer from the Middle Eastern club where he would reunite with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo.
Felix's Uncertain Future at Barcelona
Despite showing flashes of brilliance during his loan spell at Camp Nou, Felix's long-term future with the Catalan giants remains in doubt. The creative attacker has failed to secure a permanent starting role under Xavi Hernandez, leading to speculation about his next move.
Saudi Pro League's Growing Appeal
The Saudi Pro League has become an increasingly attractive destination for top European talent, with the league's financial power allowing clubs to offer wages that dwarf those available at most European sides. Al-Nassr, who already boast Ronaldo in their ranks, are keen to add more star power to their squad as they look to challenge for domestic and continental honours.
Potential Reunion With Ronaldo
A move to Al-Nassr would see Felix team up with Ronaldo for the first time since their days together at Atletico Madrid's city rivals Real. The pair have enjoyed a good relationship on international duty with Portugal, and Al-Nassr's hierarchy believe their combination could be devastating in the Saudi league.
While Barcelona have an option to make Felix's move permanent, the club's financial situation means they may struggle to match the offers coming from Saudi Arabia. The player's representatives are understood to be weighing up all options before making a final decision.
