João Félix hints at Real Madrid move and jokes about it

João Félix has mentioned the possibility of joining Real Madrid in an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, as reported by Trivela and Estadio Deportivo. The 26-year-old Al-Nassr striker reacted with irony to the prospect.

A blunt statement

According to Trivela, João Félix is reported to have said that he would be "the biggest traitor in the history of football" if he played for Real Madrid. Estadio Deportivo reports similar remarks, referring to a statement in which he claims he would have been "the biggest traitor in football" and that he is "proud to have played for Barça".

These remarks come after tricky spells at several major European clubs. The player endured disappointing experiences at Chelsea, AC Milan, Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona, before finding a new lease of life at Al-Nassr and in the Portuguese national team in 2026, according to Trivela.

A future in the balance

Asked about a possible return to Europe, João Félix did not hide that he was thinking about it. Estadio Deportivo notes that Real Madrid would be the only one left for him to complete his collection of Spain's three biggest clubs, but that he does not see himself wearing the white shirt.

According to Bola na Rede, the player also reacted to that possibility by saying he would have been "football's biggest traitor." The Portuguese outlet picks up on the comments made in the interview with AS.

Comments that spark reactions

João Félix's statements have been widely picked up by the Portuguese and Spanish press. The player, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, appears to have turned the page on his Spanish experiences, even though he does not rule out a return to Europe in the future.

For now, no official information confirms any interest from Real Madrid in the player. The coming weeks will tell whether this statement will have repercussions on the transfer market.
