Joao Felix will work with Cristiano Ronaldo. The meeting took place on the stage of Saudi Arabia, not on the Portuguese national team.
The BBC, a British public broadcaster, reported on the 28th (Korea time) 'Alnasar signed a £43.7 million (about KRW 80 billion) contract with Chelsea striker Felix.

Felix, who has been recognized as Portugal's top prospect since his debut with his beautiful appearance and outstanding skills, once had tremendous expectations with the nickname of the second Ronaldo. The first team to reach out to Felix was Atletico Madrid. As the potential exploded with 20 goals and 8 assists in 42 games in the 2018-2019 season at Benfica, Atletico invested 126 million euros (about 200 billion won) to embrace Felix.
Felix's growth, however, was not in the direction he expected. There has been no growth for Felix in the three seasons since joining Atletico. He couldn't get used to it and went around without being at the center of the team. In addition to his skills, problems continued, such as publicly demanding a transfer to Barcelona. Felix then left for Chelsea for a transfer fee of 44.5 million pounds (about 80 billion won), ending his Atletico career. Even in Chelsea, where the rebound was expected, Felix did not have a chance to play. After being pushed out of the main competition, he decided to rent Milan immediately in the transfer market in the previous winter.

There was no reversal in Milan. Expectations were high immediately after joining Milan, and coach Sergio Concei-sang also actively used Felix. The problem was performance. He scored his debut goal against Roma in his Milan debut, but he remained silent after 12 games without scoring a single attacking point. Italian football expert Fabio Labecchani has come to the point where he criticizes that "Milan is all wrong, Felix is handsome, but useless." In the end, Milan did not even attempt to completely recruit Felix.
Felix, who became a duck egg on the Nakdonggang River, initially raised the possibility of transferring to his former team Benfica. But there was a team that dug in between. It was Alnasr, Portugal's senior Ronaldo's team. Alnasr succeeded in recruiting by persuading Felix himself by Jorge Jeju's coach and Ronaldo to reinforce the offense.
With Felix's transfer, Chelsea will also be able to recover the transfer fee invested in Felix. The BBC said 'Chelsea has recovered all of the £45m it paid to Atletico to sign Felix last summer'
