A source responsible within Al Nassr confirmed that the club has the right to activate a contract extension clause for the Portuguese second striker Joao Félix, 26, without requiring new approval from him. This is because the agreement for the extension is part of the contract signed by both parties in July 2025. The contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027. The activation of this clause is dependent on meeting specific pre-agreed conditions outlined in the contract, which include the duration of the extension, economic compensation, and the deadline for activation. The contracts between Al Nassr and Joao Félix contain the player's consent for the extension clause. Consequently, the club does not need a new signature or approval from the player, as long as all contractual and legal conditions are fulfilled. Al Nassr officials have a meeting scheduled soon with Jorge Mendes, who represents Joao Félix, to discuss the mechanisms for activating the extension clause as specified in the contract. During this meeting, Al Nassr executives will also discuss Joao Félix's stance on his continuity with Mendes. This discussion will take place even though the club holds the contractual right to activate the clause, as the player's wishes are considered an important factor in the negotiations' future. In the upcoming meeting, Al Nassr intends to reach a clear agreement concerning Joao Félix's continuity and analyze the details of activating the extension clause before making a final decision on the player's future with the club. Félix has 61 caps and 15 goals for Portugal. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €28.00m. His transfer to Al Nassr in July 2025 was for a reported €30M. The player has been associated with several clubs, including FC Barcelona, Juventus, and Manchester United.
