Joao Felix: 'I dream of setting up Cristiano Ronaldo's 1000th goal'
Al-Nassr forward Joao Felix has expressed his desire to return to European football while revealing his ambition to contribute to Cristiano Ronaldo's 1000th career goal.
Joao Felix, currently enjoying a successful spell with Saudi club Al-Nassr, has opened up about his career ambitions and future plans. While the forward is happy in Saudi Arabia, he remains focused on a potential return to European football to compete in the Champions League and face the world's best teams once again.
A major highlight of his time in Saudi Arabia is playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Felix admitted that he has a specific dream involving his teammate's pursuit of a historic milestone.

Regarding his past in Spain, Felix fondly remembered his time at Barcelona, describing it as a childhood dream fulfilled. However, he drew a hard line when asked about a potential move to Real Madrid, citing his loyalty to his former clubs. "If that happened I would be the biggest traitor," he stated firmly.
Felix reflected on his growth as a player, noting that playing in his natural position at Al-Nassr has allowed him to better understand the game and the crucial moments of a match. He believes he is a more complete player now and remains confident that he can help any team he plays for, whether in the Middle East or upon his eventual return to Europe.
