João Félix isn’t just a footballer anymore — he’s become football’s very own Sinbad.
Since leaving Benfica, he’s been on a whirlwind journey across Europe (and beyond), riding what feels like a magic carpet of endless loans and transfers.
It started with a record-breaking move to Atlético Madrid, but Diego Simeone’s rigid tactics never fit Félix’s free-flowing style. Soon after, he was off to Chelsea, where his debut ended with a red card — a perfect symbol of that short-lived spell.
Then came a brighter stint at Barcelona, where he showed glimpses of magic, only to fade as competition increased. A move to AC Milan offered a fresh start, but even that didn’t feel like “home.”
Now? He’s in Al Nassr, landing next to Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League.
João Félix is a reminder that talent alone isn’t enough — you need the right team, system, and a bit of luck.
Until then… the magic carpet keeps flying.
