Fenerbahçe part ways with Anderson Talisca as Al-Jazira move looms

Another departure is taking shape at Fenerbahçe. The Turkish giants have reached an agreement with UAE club Al-Jazira over the transfer of Anderson Talisca, after the Brazilian was left out of the squad plans due to the foreign player quota. Club official Cihan Kamer had already hinted at the split, saying earlier that the club would "say goodbye" to the forward.

Talisca bid farewell to his Fenerbahçe teammates during training last night. According to reports, the experienced attacker will sign a two-year contract with Al-Jazira and is set to travel to the United Arab Emirates for the signing. He is reportedly scheduled to undergo medical examinations on Thursday, September 3rd, ahead of finalizing the deal.

Talisca joined Fenerbahçe during the winter transfer window of the 2024-2025 season and went on to make 75 appearances for the club, scoring 44 goals and providing 7 assists. The Brazilian quickly became a key figure for the team, and his impressive output has made the news of his departure resonate strongly among supporters.

With Talisca unable to secure a spot due to foreign player quota restrictions, his move to Al-Jazira is also expected to prompt a reshuffle of Fenerbahçe's foreign player list. The club has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but the transfer is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
