“I’m the One Who Decides” – Minutes After Cristiano Ronaldo’s Brace, Al Nassr Boss Takes Control of Transfers By Deciding $3,500,000 Star’s Future

With the new season underway, Saudi team Al Nassr has gained momentum with their two consecutive victories in the Saudi Pro League. Furthermore, captain and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo kept up his high standards to aid his team in the quest for the title. Meanwhile, the team’s coach has dismissed the transfer rumors about their Brazilian star stating his importance to the Saudi’s side.

The Knights of Najd were active in the transfer market, acquiring top talents from European leagues this season. Nevertheless, Al Nassr was shrewd in keeping their players to strengthen the squad in every forefront to build a seemingly balanced squad. On this occasion, the manager acknowledged his role in the transfer decisions and confirmed their $3.5 million-rated player would not be sold in the current transfer window.

Al Nassr Boss puts an end to Talisca’s transfer speculation

Anderson Talisca had pledged his allegiance to Al Nassr with a new contract with the club until 2026 and had no intention of leaving the Saudi Arabian side this season. Although he was still linked with a move to his former Turkish club, Besiktas, who was consistently interested in re-signing him to the team.

In this case, Luis Castro dispelled any rumors of a transfer and confirmed that the Brazilian player would remain with Al Alami. The coach was quoted in an interview, “Talisca continues with Al Nassr and will not leave.”

On the contrary, the head coach took ownership of the club’s transfer decisions and asserted that Talisca was always part of his plans. Castro remarked, “I do not know where the news of Talisca’s departure comes from, I am the one who decides and I want him to continue with me in.”

The former Guangzhou F.C. forward joined Al Alami in 2021 and quickly established himself as a prolific goalscorer, scoring 40 goals in just 52 appearances. The previous season’s top scorer further cemented his importance to the team with his powerful chemistry with Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. Meanwhile, Al Nassr secured their second win in the Saudi Pro League with CR7 scoring an emphatic brace in their latest game.
