Per the source, Besiktas have the option to sign the powerful midfielder on a €21 million move before the end of the season.

Talisca is into his second season on loan at Besiktas and the reigning Super Lig champions have a clause in the contract giving them a cut-price buyout option.

Should Besiktas not exercise their option to sign Talisca on a permanent deal, Roma have an agreement in place to take him of Benfica’s hands.

The Italian giants have been keeping close tabs on developments in the Turkish league after signing Cengiz Under from Basaksehir on a bargain.

Talisca has scored 16 times and provided four assists in all competitions this season.

The Besiktas ace netted four times in the Champions League group stage helping his side top Group G.
