It’s official and confirmed: Anderson Talisca has committed his future to Fenerbahçe, signing a new contract that keeps him at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium until June 30, 2028.
Despite heavy interest from several European and Middle Eastern clubs during the January window, the 32-year-old Brazilian playmaker chose to stay in Istanbul, where he has become the undisputed “heartbeat” of the team.
The Contract Breakdown
- Duration: A two-year extension on his previous deal, ensuring he stays through the 2027/28 season.
- Financial Sacrifice: In a move that has delighted the Sarı Kanaryalar faithful, Talisca reportedly accepted a 30% salary reduction to facilitate the extension. His annual wage has been adjusted from €12 million down to approximately €5.5 million.
- The “Talisca Impact”: Since arriving from Al Nassr on a free transfer in early 2025, Talisca has been in blistering form. This season alone, he has recorded 19 goals and 4 assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
The Project & Leadership
Fenerbahçe’s management, led by Sporting Director Devin Özek, viewed this as the most important “internal transfer” of the year. Coach Domenico Tedesco (who succeeded José Mourinho) has built his tactical system around Talisca’s creative freedom.
“I am very happy to be here for two more seasons. I want to thank the President and the fans for the love they show me every day. I’m ready to keep fighting for this jersey.” — Anderson Talisca
