<p>Talisca is one of the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-cr7-anderson-talisca-al-nassr-al-ain-afc-champions-league/blt12f20aa15e5dde7a" target="_blank">most influential figures in the Al-Nassr attack</a> alongside Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, having scored eight times in 17 appearances in the 2024-25 campaign so far. His impressive form for the Saudi Pro League giants has attracted interest from Fenerbahce as Jose Mourinho is determined to bring the player back to Turkey, according to <a href="https://www.fanatik.com.tr/" target="_blank"><em>Fanatik</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Brazilian spent two seasons at Besiktas between 2016 and 2018 on loan from Benfica. He enjoyed tremendous success in Turkey having recorded 37 goals and 15 assists in 80 appearances, while also becoming a Turkish Super Lig title winner in the 2016-17 season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The <em>Fanatik</em> report further claims that Al-Nassr's sporting director Adrian Esparraga has already visited Istanbul to negotiate a possible deal for Talisca as the Saudi club is reportedly prepared to part ways with the 30-year-old. Fenerbahce are also considering including Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri as part of a swap deal to rope in the Brazilian.</p>
