• Anderson Talisca has broken his silence on reports linking him away from Al-Nassr
• The Knights of Najd have already parted ways with a host of foreign stars, including Vincent Aboubakar
• Recently, Jaloliddin Masharipov, the player who gave his No.7 shirt to Ronaldo, mutually terminated his contract with the club

Anderson Talisca has finally addressed the speculation surrounding his potential departure from Al-Nassr.

The Brazilian forward, who joined the Knights of Najd in 2021, has been a prolific goal-scorer for the Saudi side, finishing last season as the club's top scorer in the Saudi top flight with an impressive tally of 20 goals in 23 games.

According to Khelnow, Talisca might face exclusion from the Al-Nassr squad due to regulations stipulated by the AFC, the Asian equivalent of UEFA.

These regulations state that only five foreign-born players are permitted in the AFC Champions League.

Al-Nassr acquired the services of Cristiano Ronaldo last season and bolstered their squad this season with signings such as Sadio Mane, Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic, Otavio, and Alex Telles.

The influx of these high-profile signings has raised speculation that the Brazilian talent could find himself surplus to requirements, with rumours suggesting that Al-Nassr are considering terminating Talisca's contract.

Nevertheless, in response to these rumours, the 29-year-old has taken to the X App (formerly known as Twitter) to publicly dismiss such speculation and provide clarity on his future with the Riyadh-based club.

"Al Nassr fans, you who love this club, stop supporting it; fake news. I renewed until the 2026, there's no reason for me to leave the club," he began.

Talisca insisted: "I'm not negotiating with anyone, the club has no intention of leaving me because there's no reason, And the numbers don't lie.

"I'm happy here, I don't want to go anywhere. I have a beautiful history with this club. When I arrived at the club, I went through all the difficulties with this club, don't forget it either. I'm going nowhere. I have no intention of leaving here, and I am happy in this country with my family! !! We follow together.
