    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Talisca has been in good form at Al-Nassr since his move to the Saudi Pro League club in 2021 from Chinese side Guangzhou. The Brazilian's contract is set to run out in the summer of 2026 and while Al-Nassr are looking to extend his contract, they are aware that he may leave the club in 2026 as a free agent. As such, Al-Nassr are likely to be open to his departure in 2025.
