Al-Nassr are all set to pocket €17.5m from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate Anderson Talisca, according to journalist Abdulaziz Al-Osaimi. The Brazilian’s future with the Saudi club has been subject to speculation for a while and it now appears that manager Stefano Pioli no longer considers him part of his plans.
Talisca has subsequently been kept out of the squad for the Al Taawoun game as the club work to sort his future out. Alternate reports have suggested that the 30-year-old could make a return to Turkey to join Fenerbahce. Talisca had a two-year loan spell with Besiktas earlier in his career.
The Brazilian has seen his importance at Al-Nassr diminish since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club. However, Talisca has still registered eight goals from 19 games this season.
