Joao Felix Defends Chelsea Exit as Necessary Career Move

Joao Felix has stated he "did what I needed to do" for his career by leaving Chelsea for Al-Nassr last summer. The 26-year-old forward joined Al-Nassr ahead of the 2025-26 season in a reported €30 million transfer after failing to secure a regular starting role at Chelsea under manager Enzo Maresca. Felix initially arrived at Chelsea on loan before making the permanent switch to the Saudi Pro League side.
