Manchester United have been closely linked with Brazilian attacking midfielder Anderson Talisca.
O Jogo reported that the Red Devils are preparing a £35 million offer for Talisca and that he is keen on the move.
Turkish journalist Firat Gunayer claims that United actually have a deal in place with the player but have yet to agree terms with his parent club Benfica.
“Talisca has signed a preliminary protocol with Manchester United,” Gunayer said. “Benfica, however, has not yet agreed with the British club.”
The 24-year-old spent the last two seasons at Besiktas and was directly involved in 51 goals.
The powerful attacker helped the Black Eagles to the league title last season.
