ShareJoao Felix is halfway through a two-year deal with Saudi Arabian champions Al-Nassr, but he misses competing in the Champions League.Joao Felix admits he often thinks about returning to Europe to compete in the Champions League, though the Portugal forward is happy at Al-Nassr for the moment.Joao Felix joined Al-Nassr last year and helped them win the Saudi Pro League title in his first season, providing 33 goal involvements in as many games (20 goals, 13 assists).Having been one of European football's hottest properties when he broke into Benfica's side in 2018-19, he made a blockbuster €126m move to Atletico Madrid at a young age but struggled in the Spanish capital.After scoring 20 goals in 43 outings for Benfica in 2018-19, Joao Felix has never netted more than 10 times in a single season in Europe's top five leagues, enduring up-and-down spells with Atleti, Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan.The 26-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract with Al-Nassr, who appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach in July, as Jorge Jesus took the Portugal job.He is hoping to help Cristiano Ronaldo pass the 1,000-goal mark in the coming months, with the 41-year-old netting to hit the net another 21 times.But beyond that, Joao Felix is eyeing a return to the top level of European football.Asked about his aims in an interview with AS, the attacker said: "To get better – I'm very happy at Al Nassr. "This will be my second year. I'll be 27 at the end of the season. I do plan to return to Europe, though perhaps not right away. "I don't know if that will be at the end of this season or the next, but I want to go back, play in the Champions League again and compete there again. "It's always different. Playing in Europe, in the Champions League, against the best teams in the world... it gives you extra motivation. That's definitely on my mind."I'm very comfortable in Saudi Arabia. I'm happy and enjoying my football, but it's true that I'm also thinking about returning. "I don’t know whether it'll be next year, in two years, three or four, but I'd like to play in European competitions again."Al-Nassr are third in the Pro League table with 16 points from their first seven matches in 2026-27, two adrift of leaders Al-Hilal.Joao Felix is currently on international duty with Portugal, who have won their opening two games under his former Al-Nassr boss Jesus and face Denmark next time out, in the Nations League on Thursday.He found the net in their 2-1 win over Norway on Sunday, taking him to five goals in his last 10 starts for his country.Joao Felix is halfway through a two-year deal with Saudi Arabian champions Al-Nassr, but he misses competing in the Champions League.Joao Felix admits he often thinks about returning to Europe to compete in the Champions League, though the Portugal forward is happy at Al-Nassr for the moment.Joao Felix joined Al-Nassr last year and helped them win the Saudi Pro League title in his first season, providing 33 goal involvements in as many games (20 goals, 13 assists).Having been one of European football's hottest properties when he broke into Benfica's side in 2018-19, he made a blockbuster €126m move to Atletico Madrid at a young age but struggled in the Spanish capital.After scoring 20 goals in 43 outings for Benfica in 2018-19, Joao Felix has never netted more than 10 times in a single season in Europe's top five leagues, enduring up-and-down spells with Atleti, Chelsea, Barcelona and AC Milan.The 26-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract with Al-Nassr, who appointed Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach in July, as Jorge Jesus took the Portugal job.He is hoping to help Cristiano Ronaldo pass the 1,000-goal mark in the coming months, with the 41-year-old netting to hit the net another 21 times.But beyond that, Joao Felix is eyeing a return to the top level of European football.Asked about his aims in an interview with AS, the attacker said: "To get better – I'm very happy at Al Nassr.
