As: Ronaldo s influence and coach s persuasion make Felix choose to join Riyadh to win

July 27, Western media Ass reported that Felix's future had an unexpected turn. The players were originally close to returning to Benfica, but Chelsea's financial requirements and the persuasion of Ronaldo and Joje Jesus eventually led Felix to Riyadh victory. About €50 million plus floating terms are the key to this deal. Chelsea therefore recovered some of the fees paid last summer.

Felix was once close to finalizing his return to Benfica. Chelsea refused to give in on its economic demands, and Benfica, led by Rui Costa, was unwilling to make crazy offers. At this time, Riyadh won and joined the bidding forcefully. Joje Jesus is a fan of Felix and had previously wanted to bring him to the Riyadh Crescent. Coupled with Ronaldo's influence, they convinced the players.

Chelsea are also interested in the deal because they can recover a portion of the 52 million euros transfer fee paid to Atletico Madrid a year ago. Atletico Madrid will not receive any share of the transfer, as it is stipulated in several clauses for the player's transfer to Chelsea that Atletico Madrid can only share the share of the transfer profits obtained from Chelsea's sale of Felix (20%).

Felix is not in Maresca's plan, and negotiations for the player to return to Benfica were not successful because Benfica was unable to pay the amount required by Chelsea in one lump sum. However, victory in Riyadh can be achieved. Felix will sign with Riyadh victoriously until 2028. Chelsea has agreed to him for a medical examination. The victory of Riyadh is currently underway in pre-season preparations in Austria.

So far, Felix has come to an end for his six years of life in a European club but has never gained a foothold. Felix was talented but had a fluctuating state and unstable performance when playing for Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona and Milan, which was inconsistent with his value. Now, he will be able to enjoy football again and play the leading role. Riyadh has introduced more and more Portuguese players, and the 2026 World Cup is also a priority for Felix.
