João Félix weighs up future: Saudi Arabia or return to Europe

Al Nassr offering €12.5m annually to extend his contract, but Félix's brother says he wants to return to Europe to pursue Champions League glory.

João Félix's contract with Al Nassr expires on 30 June, and the Saudi club is working to keep him with a lucrative new deal worth €12.5m per year — a significant increase on his current €10m annual salary. The Portuguese winger has previously expressed his desire to return to European football, telling AS in September that he wants to compete in the Champions League again.

Felix's brother Hugo recently told A Bola that João needs to return to Europe soon to fulfil his dream of winning the Champions League. That statement has taken on fresh significance with his contract expiring in the coming months.

Al Nassr hopes the improved financial offer will convince him to stay for at least two more seasons, but the player appears torn between the security and comfort of Saudi Arabia and his ambition to compete at the highest level in Europe.
