“I’ve always said I want to stay but this is up to Benfica at the end of the day,” Talisca said in an interview with TRT.
“My family loves Istanbul, loves Turkey, we all love Besiktas.
“Quaresma played a huge role in helping me settle in, he found me a home and showed me where to go and what to eat.”
Besiktas will be able to loan Talisca next season unless his release clause is activated.
The powerful attacking midfielder has a £21 million release clause option which can be activated over the summer.
Talisca has been in great form this season scoring 17 times and providing six assists, including impressive displays in the Champions League and Europa League.
The 23-year-old has attracted widespread interest from across Europe including Manchester United.
Turkish-Football have reported United scouts monitoring Talisca closely over the course of the season.
Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported last month that Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has had his scouts monitor on Talisca over the course of the season.
Per the source, Mourinho was keen on activating Talisca’s release clause this summer.
Brazilian outlet Fox Sports BR have however, reported that Mourinho will not be able to sign Talisca this summer as he has extended his loan stay.
The Turkish Football Federation also suggest that Talisca has extended his loan stay but there has been no official confirmation from the club.
Talisca and United boss Jose Mourinho share the same agent in Jorge Mendes.
