Club career

Bahia

A youth graduate from Bahia, where he arrived in 2009, Talisca made his professional debut against Corinthians on 7 July 2013, and scored his first goal in the next match against São Paulo.[1][2]

Benfica

On 5 July 2014, after his debut season, Talisca moved to Portuguese champions Benfica for a €4.75 million fee (agent fee included), the highest paid for a Bahia player.[3][4][5] On 18 July 2014, he scored his first goal for Benfica on his debut in their Taça de Honra semi-final win against Estoril.[6] On 12 September, he scored a hat-trick in an away victory against Vitória de Setúbal.[7] On 27 September, he scored two goals in a row against Estoril in an away win (3–2) and became the Primeira Liga's top goalscorer with five goals.[8] On 5 October, he scored his sixth goal in Portuguese league and maintained the top scorer lead.[9] On 31 October, he scored his eighth and fourth consecutive goal in Primeira Liga, in a home win against Rio Ave (1–0), keeping the top scorer lead.

On 4 November 2014, he scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League, the only goal of the game to defeat Monaco in the group stage. He described scoring the 82nd-minute goal as the "best feeling" in his life.[10] On 26 January 2016, he netted a hat-trick in a 6–1 win at Moreirense in the Taça da Liga.[11]

In the 2015–16 season, Talisca scored Benfica's winning goal in a 2–1 away victory against Zenit Saint Petersburg in the second leg of UEFA Champions League's round of 16, to make the aggregate score 3–1.[12][13] On 8 May, he sealed the 2–0 away win at Marítimo in the league with a direct free kick.[14]

Loans

On 24 August 2016, Talisca joined Turkish club Beşiktaş on a 1+1-year loan deal[15][16][17] for a €2 million fee for the first season. Talisca signed a contract worth €1.5 million in the first season plus bonuses.[15] On 13 September, on his return to the Estádio da Luz in a Champions League group game, he scored an added-time free kick to ensure a 1–1 draw.[18]

On 8 June 2018, Talisca was loaned to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao for a half year.[19] He made his debut for Guangzhou Evergrande as a starter and scored a hat-trick, including a direct free kick, to help his team win 4–0 over Guizhou Hengfeng in the league on 18 July.[20] On 29 July 2018, he scored two goals in his second appearance for Guangzhou in a 5–0 home win over Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.[21]

International career

On 11 November 2014, Talisca was called up by Dunga to the Brazilian national team to replace Lucas Moura in the international fixtures against Turkey and Austria.[22]

Style of play

He has been nicknamed "Yaya Talisca" in reference to Ivorian midfielder Yaya Touré, but bases his game on that of his compatriot Neymar.[23] He has also been compared to fellow Brazilian Rivaldo.[24]
