The Istanbul giants are however, reconsidering their options regarding finding a sponsor to cover part of the fee due to him form.
Besiktas do have an option to extend his loan deal by an additional season but if his release fee is activated he could be signed on a permanent transfer.
Talisca has been in brilliant for Besiktas scoring a career high 13 goals in all competitions – as well as six assists.
The 23-year-old has attracted widespread interest from across Europa as a result.
Turkish-Football reported that Manchester United have been scouting the 23-year-old.
Talisca is represented by the same agent as United boss Jose Mourinho – Jorge Mendes.
The Portuguese manager has spoke favourably of the 23-year-old in the past.
Turkish newspaper Takvim meanwhile recently reported that Liverpool are prepared to activate his release clause.
Fotospor have also reported that Talisca has received interest from the Serie A and La Liga.
Talisca would be able to currently play in Italy or Spain but he would require a work permit from the Home Office.
The 23-year-old had a transfer to Liverpool blocked last year due to not being granted a work permit according to O Jogo.
