João Félix Sequeira is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or forward for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team. Félix initially trained at Porto's youth academy before moving to rivals Benfica in 2015.

João Félix was born on November 10, 1999, in Viseu, Portugal. He started his career in Benfica's academy and made his professional debut with Benfica B. Félix has represented Portugal at various youth levels and made his senior debut in 2019. In August 2024, Félix signed a seven-year contract with Chelsea FC, returning after a loan spell.

Joao Felix, who has joined Al-Nassr from Chelsea on a two-year contract in a deal worth up to £43.7m, remains the third most expensive transfer ever - in terms of initial fee - having cost Atletico Madrid £113m from Benfica at the age of 19 in 2019. The Portugal forward has since gone on to play for European giants Barcelona, AC Milan and Chelsea - yet, since leaving home, has never scored more than 10 goals in a season. Now, aged 25, he is off to Saudi Arabia.

As Lisbon-based journalist Marcus Alves puts it: "The feeling back home is that Felix has officially given up on being a truly top-level international player." So what happened? "It doesn't seem there is any turning point for him," said Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague. "It drives coaches mad. They see the potential but he'll never fulfil it. It's a mental thing. It's not that he's not bothered - but he's not listening."
