Portugal's Joao Felix signs for Al Nassrin Saudi, reunites with Ronaldo

Joao Felix took his total transfer cost to around $260 million Tuesday when completing his latest move this time to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. The Portugal forward has teamed up with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, joining from Chelsea for a reported initial fee of 30 million euros ($34.6 million) and signing a two-year contract. I'm here to spread joy. Let's win together, Felix said in a video announcing his arrival, shared on Al Nassr's social media channels. He is the latest star player from Europe to move to Saudi Arabia as part of the kingdom's bid to become a major force in soccer. But his transfer from Club World Cup winner Chelsea is the latest in a long line of moves for a player who holds the record for the fourth most expensive signing in history, but has failed to live up to the expectations placed on him so early in his career. Still only 25, Felix has time to hit the heights he seemed destined for when joining Spanish giant Atletico Madrid from Benfica for $140 milli

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr out of Asian Champions League with SF loss vs Kawasaki

Cristiano Ronaldo's wait for a major trophy in Saudi Arabia is set to continue after Al-Nassr lost 3-2 to Kawasaki Frontale in the Asian Champions League semifinals on Wednesday. The 40-year-old Ronaldo, who signed for the Riyadh club in December 2022, had chances but failed to score against the team from Japan. Kawasaki will face another Saudi team, Al-Ahli, in Saturday's final with both teams bidding for a first continental title. Kawasaki was ahead after just 10 minutes on a spectacular volley from Tatsuya Ito. Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane equalized for Al-Nassr before the half-hour mark. Soon after, Ronaldo headed against the woodwork but it was Kawasaki which scored next, restoring its lead three minutes before the break through Yuto Ozeki. Al-Nassr continued to attack but fell further behind after 76 minutes when Akihiro Ienaga scored from close range. Ayman Yahya cut the margin for Al-Nassr with three minutes remaining but despite Ronaldo and Jhon Duran signed for ove

Ronaldo's heroics propel Al-Nassr into AFC Champions League quarterfinals

Cristiano Ronaldo was on target as Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr beat Iran's Esteghlal 3-0 to progress to the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League Elite on Monday. Ronaldo, who has yet to win a trophy for Al-Nassr since signing for the Riyadh club in December 2022, missed the 0-0 draw in the first leg of the round of 16 tie in Tehran last week. After 26 minutes in the return match, the 40-year-old scored his seventh goal of the tournament, converting a penalty after Sadio Mane was fouled in the area. Earlier, Jhon Duran opened the scoring with a lob from the corner of the area. Esteghlal was reduced to 10 men just before the break when Mehran Ahmadi was issued a second yellow card. Al-Nassr, seeking a first Asian championship, added a third late in the game after Duran fired home a low shot for his second. Elsewhere, two-time champion Al-Sadd of Qatar advanced with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates.
