According to A Bola, João Félix's brother, Hugo, stated that João needs to return to Europe as soon as possible to fulfill his dream of winning the Champions League. Meanwhile, Saudi sources are working to keep him at Al Nassr with a proposed record contract of 12.5 million euros annually, which would be more than his current salary of about 10 million per season. The offer aims to keep João Félix in Riyadh for at least two more seasons. João Félix also stated to As that he is happy in Arabia, but that he is thinking about returning, and he is awaiting a call from a major European club to fulfill his Champions League dream.

In an interview in Spain, Joao Felix said that one day he wants to return to Europe and play Champions League football again, stating that Europe is in his mind. While he would like to go back to Europe, he is not actively seeking to leave Al Nassr and is happy at the club. Felix added that when his time at Al Nassr concludes, he will be very happy to return to Europe. He is open to such a move and would consider different opportunities, not only a transfer to Barcelona.

Joao Felix, a 26-year-old Portuguese second striker, stated that he has thought, although perhaps not immediately, about a return to Europe, and that while he does not know if it will be at the end of this season or the next, he wants to return. Felix mentioned that playing in the Champions League is one of his main motivations, and that playing in Europe, playing in the Champions League, and with the best teams in the world gives a player extra motivation. Felix joined Al-Nassr FC in July 2025 and is under contract until June 2027. The attacker has 58 caps and 13 goals for his country. His current market value is €28.00m, according to Transfermarkt. He has been linked with Beşiktaş.
