Al Nassr hit a rough patch in the Saudi Pro League after winning their first title of the season. Despite signing big European icons, including Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi club’s fortunes in the league did not improve to the previous season. Meanwhile, Al Nassr was prepared to complain against a Turkish giant due to the pursuit of their Brazilian talisman.

CR7 and his teammates failed to convert several scoring opportunities in their second league game, which cost them the match. Al Nassr’s inability to remain composed in the attacking zone laid bare their offensive struggles. Furthermore, their Brazilian playmaker’s awful performance and missed chances were the final straw for the Saudi side, prompting them to part ways with him in this transfer window. However, negotiation with the forward’s former club caused chaos in Al Alami’s management, which lead them to file a complaint with FIFA against the club.

Al Nassr’s action against the Turkish giants

Anderson Talisca, the Brazilian forward of Al Nassr, was still looking to make an impact for the club this season. Despite extending his contract with the team for three years until 2026, the Saudi side was considering releasing him due to his poor performance. Eventually, the 29-year-old forward came in contact with his former club, Besiktas, who were targeting him in this transfer window. Reports, however, indicate that Al Alami was not in a position to facilitate the transfer negotiations with the ongoing pursuit from the Turkish side. According to a Turkish journalist, “Al-Nasr management is preparing to file a complaint with FIFA against the Turkish club Besiktas because it negotiates with Talisca.”

The $137,890,000 giants made a direct approach to the 29-year-old forward and inquired about the terms of the contract. Furthermore, the team and the player were not on the same page due to the financial expectation of the deal. Al-Nassr expressed discontent over this development, asserting that Besiktas violated FIFA regulations by engaging in negotiations with Talisca while he was still under their contract. Meanwhile, the Brazilian star’s future hung in balance with his terrible stint and the arrival of new talent that had put his place in the team in jeopardy.

What does the future hold for the Brazilian teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo?

Anderson Talisca scored 43 goals in 61 appearances for Al Nassr after joining the Saudi club from Guangzhou Evergrande on a permanent deal in 2021. The Brazilian veteran, despite earning $3.5 million per year and playing a pivotal role in the squad, was in a bad position this season due to his downfall in performance. The Brazilian veteran’s inability to capitalize on crucial opportunities left both the club and its supporters exasperated, leading to back-to-back losses in the Saudi Pro League.

Nevertheless, given the caliber of European luminaries such as Sadio Mane, Seko Fofana, Alex Teles, and Aymeric Laporte, Tallisca’s prospects appeared meager at Al Nassr. Meanwhile, the Brazilian forward’s desire to return to Besiktas was still up in the air while he hope to find a chance in the squad to play against Shabab Al-Ahli in the third match of the league this Tuesday.
