With the fate of Talisca in the balance, Al-Nassr is focusing on reinforcing their attack by targeting En-Nesyri, whose name has been closely associated with the Saudi club in recent rumors.
The situation hinges on the transfer of Talisca to Fenerbahce, a deal that would pave the way for the Moroccan forward to join Al-Nassr. The live broadcast, aired on the “Our League is Different” program, highlighted the intense negotiations taking place.
Key transfer dependent on Talisca’s decision
During a live segment on SBA Sport channel, journalist Ali Al Enezi provided further insight into the transfer process, stating, “Can En-Nesyri come? His transfer is connected to Talisca’s manager’s approval.
Within 48 hours, Talisca’s transfer to the Turkish league will be finalized. After the Al Akhdood match, Talisca’s situation will become clearer.”
48-hour countdown: Talisca’s future to be decided soon
Al-Nassr is working tirelessly to finalize an agreement regarding Talisca’s potential loan or permanent move to Fenerbahce in January. This crucial deal will determine En-Nesyri’s move to Al-Nassr, although the situation surrounding Talisca’s future remains uncertain.
As Al Enezi revealed, Talisca’s departure will be confirmed shortly after the Al Akhdood match, scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 9.
Focus on Al-Nassr’s upcoming match
Al-Nassr will face Al Akhdood on Thursday evening in the Saudi Pro League. With the club currently in fourth place with 25 points from seven wins, four draws and two losses, this match could be pivotal in shaping the future of both Talisca and En-Nesyri.
Al Enezi further emphasized, “With Al-Nassr’s 10 foreign players unavailable for this important match, Talisca’s situation might not be immediately resolved. However, by Friday or Saturday, things will become official.”
What’s next for Talisca and En-Nesyri?
The next 48 hours will be crucial in determining the future of both players. If Talisca completes his move to Fenerbahce, En-Nesyri is expected to finalize his transfer to Al-Nassr, marking a significant shift in the Saudi club’s attacking lineup.
