Liverpool fans already have plenty to be excited about with the UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid around the corner.

However, the Reds could be in line for even more excitement after being linked with a move for Besiktas forward Anderson Talisca.

According to a report by Goal, Liverpool are close to signing the Brazilian star.

Talisca is currently contracted to Portugues giants Benfica but spent the last two seasons on loan at Besiktas. The 24-year-old led Besiktas to the title last season and helped them advance to the Last 16 in the Champions League this term.

Besiktas have an option to sign Talisca this summer but are struggling to raise enough funds to meet his release clause.

Following reports linking the Brazilian with a move to Liverpool, Reds fans took to social media to share their thoughts.
