Acun Ilıcalı Convinces Talisca: Brazilian Star Close to Fenerbahçe Move
Fenerbahçe has reportedly made significant progress in its pursuit of Anderson Talisca during the mid-season transfer window.
Most recently, it was revealed that Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı convinced Talisca, who had reservations about returning to Turkey, to make the move. It is now said that only one obstacle remains for Fenerbahçe to secure the Brazilian star.
Having previously played for Beşiktaş between 2016 and 2018, Talisca moved to Guangzhou FC in China before joining Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Now, the Brazilian playmaker is inching closer to a move to Fenerbahçe.
Fenerbahçe has reportedly overcome significant hurdles to bring Talisca back to Turkey. According to Sabah, Vice President Acun Ilıcalı played a key role in persuading the 30-year-old player, who was initially hesitant about returning to Turkey.
Currently, the only remaining issue preventing the completion of Talisca’s transfer is his high salary.
Talisca is earning €12 million annually at Al-Nassr, and Fenerbahçe is working to lower this financial burden.
Additionally, a loan deal is being considered as one of the possible options on the table.
This season, Talisca has made 17 appearances for Al-Nassr, contributing 8 goals.
