Introduction: Cristiano Ronaldo’s key teammate at Al-Nassr, Anderson Talisca, is set to leave the team shortly to join Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce. Meanwhile, Ronaldo will lead Al-Nassr in their upcoming Saudi Pro League match against Al Raed.
Talisca’s Transfer to Fenerbahce: According to Fabrizio Romano, Anderson Talisca’s transfer to Fenerbahce could be finalized this week. Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho has approved the signing of the Brazilian player. Talisca is scheduled for a medical examination in Istanbul in the coming days. His contract with Fenerbahce will run until June 2026.
Fenerbahce’s Pursuit of Anderson Talisca: Fenerbahce has been interested in signing Anderson Talisca since early December 2024. The club is keen to secure the 30-year-old due to Jose Mourinho’s need for reinforcements in the attacking department for the midseason competition. However, Talisca has been recovering from an injury that kept him out of Al-Nassr’s games for over a month.
Anderson Talisca’s Career Before Moving to the Middle East: Before his transfer to Saudi Arabia, Talisca played for Benfica and spent two seasons on loan at Besiktas. While at Al-Nassr, he formed a formidable attacking partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, helping the team win the Arab Club Championship in 2023.
