Al-Nassr has opened contract extension talks with Joao Felix, offering to increase his salary to 12.5 million euros per season, according to reports in the Portuguese newspaper A Bola. The 26-year-old forward has flourished since joining the Saudi club from Chelsea in the summer of 2025, recording 26 goals and 18 assists in 47 appearances during his debut campaign and helping secure the league title alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite his stellar performances in Saudi Arabia and a strong start to the current season with seven goals and ten assists in 14 matches, Felix has not hidden his ambition to return to European football. In a September interview with the Spanish daily AS, he acknowledged his happiness at Al-Nassr but emphasized his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League again, while Barcelona has also been linked as a potential future destination.
Felix's current contract runs until June 2027 and includes an option for a two-year extension.
