Fenerbahçe SK has mutually terminated the contract of Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca. Immediately following the termination, Talisca signed a two-year deal with UAE powerhouse Al-Jazira.
According to a report by Goal.com, the club made an official announcement confirming the contract termination. Fenerbahçe stated, "Anderson Talisca joined our team's ranks during the mid-season period of 2024-2025, and his contract has been terminated by mutual agreement between the two parties." The club added, "We wish Talisca all the best and success in the next stage of his footballing career."
What are the details of Talisca's move to Al-Jazira?
Negotiations with Al-Jazira concluded swiftly after the contract termination. The Brazilian player signed a two-year agreement with the United Arab Emirates club, which includes an option for a further season. Goal.com reports that Talisca is set to earn a total annual salary of slightly more than 10 million euros at Al-Jazira. Only the medical examination and the formal signing of contracts remain to complete the move.
At Al-Jazira, Talisca will link up with his compatriot, forward Malcom, who previously played for Zenit Saint Petersburg. This transfer is seen as part of the Gulf nation's recent strategy of attracting experienced stars from European football.

His exit could create new opportunities within the existing squad structure. Talisca, meanwhile, will begin his new career chapter at Al-Jazira with a two-year contract.
