Brazilian ace Anderson Talisca is on loan at Besiktas.
The Turkish champions have an agreement to extend his temporary stay by an additional season.

“There will be news on this soon.
“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.
“I had a good season so we will see what happens.”

Talisca directly scored 12 percent of all free-kicks in the league this season and was rated the third best player statistically.
