The rumors surrounding Anderson Talisca’s departure from Al Nassr seem to be gaining momentum, with Fenerbahçe emerging as a key contender for the Brazilian forward’s signature.
Reports suggest the Turkish club is preparing a proposal to secure the 30-year-old, aiming to strengthen their squad in their pursuit of the Süper Lig title.
An exit that favors Al Nassr for the transfer window
For Al Nassr, Talisca’s departure could align with their long-term plans. Despite the Brazilian’s contributions since joining the club in 2021, his performances have been inconsistent in recent seasons.
At 30 years old, Talisca no longer fits Al Nassr’s vision of building a younger, more dynamic squad.
The Saudi club is looking to rejuvenate their attack, particularly with aging stars like Cristiano Ronaldo (39) and Sadio Mané (32) leading their frontline.
By offloading Talisca, Al Nassr would gain financial resources to invest in younger, high-potential players, ensuring the team’s competitiveness in the Saudi Pro League and beyond.

If the transfer materializes, it could benefit both clubs.
Fenerbahçe would acquire a proven goal scorer with international experience, boosting their title ambitions, while Al Nassr would take a step toward reshaping their roster for the future.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Talisca makes the move to Turkey, but the interest from Fenerbahçe signals a potential turning point in the forward’s career and Al Nassr’s ongoing evolution.
Mourinho’s approval and Fenerbahçe’s ambitions
Under the management of José Mourinho, Fenerbahçe has been highly competitive this season.
Currently sitting second in the league table, just a few points behind Galatasaray, the club sees Talisca as a valuable addition to their attacking lineup.
Mourinho is reportedly keen on bringing the experienced forward to bolster their chances of overtaking their rivals and clinching the league title.
