Chelsea have confirmed the deal via an official club statement.

The club statement read: “Joao Felix has departed Chelsea and signed a permanent deal with Al-Nassr.

“The Portugal international made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Blues last season, netting seven goals following his summer move to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid.
