He helped Benfica win the league title in his first and only season with them. In 2019, at age 19, Félix signed with Atlético Madrid for a club-record transfer worth €126 million (£113 million), the fourth-most expensive football transfer. With Atlético, he won the 2020–21 La Liga and over the following years, he had loan spells with Chelsea and Barcelona, before rejoining Chelsea permanently in 2024. After a brief loan spell with AC Milan, Félix joined Al-Nassr in 2025, helping them win the Saudi Pro League title and being named the league's Player of the Season in his first year. Félix is a former Portugal youth international, representing his country at under-18, under-19, and under-21 levels. He earned his first senior cap in the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals, winning the inaugural edition of the competition on home soil. He went on to represent his country at two UEFA European Championships (2020 and 2024) and two FIFA World Cups (2022 and 2026), and also won a second international trophy at the 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals.
