Turkish champions fear Man United have activated Brazilian star’s €25m release clause after he returns to Benfica
Brazilian attacking midfielder Anderson Talisca faces an uncertain future despite striking a loan deal with Besiktas.
Talisca missed the Super Cup final against Konyaspor on Sunday after being recalled by his parent club Benfica.
The Portuguese outfit claim there has been a problem with his paperwork.
Besiktas are of the view that Talisca will join the club on loan and will file a complaint to FIFA if Benfica do not comply.
The uncertainty has resulted in speculation that Benfica may have received an offer for the 23-year-old.

Turkish outlet Fotospor claim the Super Lig champions fear that United have struck a deal with Benfica over Talisca.
Per the source, the Black Eagles believe the Portuguese giants have reached an agreement with United.
United were closely linked with the powerful midfielder earlier in the summer.
“That is a question I can not give an answer to just yet,” Talisca told Globoesport when asked about United interest.
“I cannot deny there is interest but what happens next depends on Benfica and my representatives.
“Look every player dreams of playing under him [Jose Mourinho]. Mourinho wants me, he has wanted me for a long time and I am an admirer of his work.”
Talisca does have a €25m release clause.
Besiktas president Fikret Orman has however, made it clear that whatever happens Talisca will play for his side over the 2017-18 season.
“Talisca’s loan deal was for two seasons,” Orman stated.
“The contract has been signed, the deal has already been agreed.
“There is no uncertainty.
“Benfica claim €2 million has not been paid, well that has nothing to do with the deal.
“We have already filed a complaint to FIFA who will resolve this issue.
“Benfica need to send over the paperwork, they are going to have to send over the documents so we are not worried.
“Talisca has already been training with us, we are happy with him.”
