Joao Felix will end his constant spell with Chelsea after Al Nassr submitted a bid worth around £ 45 million.
The Portugal star was the subject of an offer of the former Benfica association, but the Saudi Pro League team has now outbid them.

The talks have taken place over the weekend and Felix could now join his international captain Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr because he is given permission to take his medicine.
This will be Benfica with President Rui Costa, who is enthusiastic about the deal, a blow.
“If we could bring players back from our academy who have the quality and meaning that a player like Joao has, we would all like it,” he said.
“All Benfica fans would like that.
“The amounts involved in both transmissions and salaries are very high and we have to respect this part.”
The potential of playing with its Portuguese teammate in a World Cup year will increase his own hopes to take part in the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
In January 2023, the 25-year-old first joined the loaned blues from Atletico Madrid and made 16 Premier League appearances.
He then had a one -year magic in Barcelona, where he scored 10 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions.
This inspired the blues to finally overthrow again, this time in a permanent switch of £ 42 million, in which he signed a seven-year contract in West London.
He played 20 times in the first half of the campaign, but was then loaned to AC Milan.

And now he is being further developed by the Stamford Bridge while trying to reinforce a stalling career.
As an 18-year-old, he became on stage in Benfica in 2018 and was sold a season later for a breathtaking £ 113 million to Atletico Madrid.
It made him the second most expensive teenager in history behind Kylian Mbappe, and he recorded the club -like Antoine Griezmann’s No. 7 shirt after going to Barcelona.
After many ups and downs in the Spanish capital, he finally decided to leave the club for his first Chelsea step, and his fights have been obvious since then.
Felix is on the way out of the Premier League when Chelsea strengthens her squad, especially in attack areas.
The club has already made significant additions, including two new strikers.

Liam Delap arrives from Ipswich while Joao Pedro comes from Brighton.
In wide areas, Jamie Gitten and Brasilian Wonderkid Estevao have completed their movements for blues.
Another player who was able to storm after this striker of 162 million pounds is Christopher Nkunku.
At the beginning of his career, he had injury problems and impressed last season in the UEFA Conference League. He scored seven in eleven games.
However, he is now about a surplus for requirements and was on the radar of Bayern Munich this summer.
