Talisca Leaves Fenerbahce for Al-Jazira in Big-Money Move

Anderson Talisca’s brief stay at Fenerbahce is over almost as quickly as it began. The Brazilian forward has left the Istanbul giants after both parties agreed to terminate his contract, drawing a line under a mid-season move that never truly settled.

Fenerbahce announced the decision on X, confirming that Talisca, who joined during the 2024-25 mid-season window, had seen his deal ended by mutual consent. The club kept the message courteous and clean: thanks for the contribution, best of luck for what comes next.

What comes next is already mapped out.

According to Transfermarkt, citing respected journalist Resat Can Ozbudak, Talisca has agreed terms with UAE side Al-Jazira. It is a move that keeps him in the Gulf football ecosystem and places him alongside a familiar face: compatriot Malcom, the former Al-Hilal attacker.

Al-Jazira are reported to have tied Talisca down on a two-year contract, with an option for a third season. The financial package underlines his enduring market value. The 30-year-old is set to earn slightly more than €10 million per year, a figure that keeps him firmly in the top bracket of earners outside Europe’s big five leagues.

For now, only the formalities stand between Talisca and his new chapter in Abu Dhabi. Medical tests, signatures, the usual photos with a scarf aloft – once those are done, Fenerbahce’s fleeting experiment will officially become Al-Jazira’s latest statement of intent.
