ENGLAND, JUL 29 – Chelsea retain Marc Cucurella as a key player under coach Enzo Maresca despite interest from Al-Nassr, with the defender appearing 54 times last season.
- On July 29, 2025, Joao Felix completed a permanent transfer from Chelsea to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, signing a contract for two years.

- Felix has reached Al-Nassr’s preseason camp based in Saalfelden, where he will train under coach Jorge Jesus and team up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Chelsea announced Felix’s departure on X, thanking him and noting the deal could be worth up to 43.7 million pounds including add-ons.
- Felix’s move reflects Al-Nassr’s ambition to improve after last season’s third-place finish and Felix’s aim to regain career momentum.
