Although the Saudi giants, Al-Nassr, have yet to announce the signing of the talented Portuguese player, Joao Felix, he is actively participating in the Yellows' training camp in preparation for the upcoming season alongside his new teammate and fellow Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Photos and videos of the two players together in training arrived from Al-Nasr's training camp in Austria in preparation for the upcoming season, and these photos took over social media, especially on X.

Chelsea and Al-Nassr reach agreement for Joao Felix

Press reports indicated that Chelsea agreed with Al-Nassr to complete the deal for approximately €30 million, after the player returned from AC Milan at the end of his loan period, noting that there is a condition in the player's deal that the price will reach €50 million, depending on the player's overall performance.

In a rapid transfer coup, a Saudi Pro League side has outpaced Portugal's Benfica to secure a Chelsea first-teamer, with formal bids accepted by both club and player over a whirlwind weekend of negotiations. The deal now awaits only medical formalities before completion.

The London club's recent squad overhaul continues at pace following their Club World Cup triumph, having already offloaded goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, Spanish shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga, and winger Noni Madueke this window as part of strategic financial compliance measures.

This impending transfer marks another high-profile departure from Stamford Bridge's revamped roster under the club's new fiscal approach.
