The fall of Felix - inside one of football's most confusing careers
The next chapter in one of football's most confusing careers is nearly upon us - and with it comes the feeling that the potential he once had will never be fulfilled.
Joao Felix, who is set to join Al-Nassr from Chelsea, remains the third most expensive transfer ever - in terms of initial fee - having cost Atletico Madrid £113m from Benfica at the age of 19 in 2019.
The Portugal forward has since gone on to play for European giants Barcelona, AC Milan and Chelsea - yet, since leaving home, has never scored more than 10 goals in a season.
Now, aged 25, he is off to Saudi Arabia. As Lisbon-based journalist Marcus Alves puts it: "The feeling back home is that Felix has officially given up on being a truly top-level international player."
