Benfica will sell Man United target for £21m this summer says Fikret Orman

Besiktas president Fikret Orman has revealed that Benfica will put up a fight to keep Anderson Talisca.

Benfica will be forced to accept offers that match their £21 million release clause.

“Benfica are keen on selling Talisca, if a £21 million offer is made they will try and make the deal go through,” Orman was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.

Talisca left Benfica on bad terms and to make matters worse he did not show restraint in his goal celebration after scoring the equaliser against the Portuguese giants in the Champions League group stages.

Talisca is currently on a two-year loan at Besiktas but if his release clause is activated his temporary stay could be cut short over the summer.

Orman underlined that Besiktas are currently unable to meet his release fee and that they are out of the race to sign him on a temporary move.

The club president revealed that he hopes Talisca stays on loan for a second season as they would be able to meet his release clause the following season.

Turkish-Football have reported Manchester United interest, the Red Devils have been scouting Talisca and head coach Jose Mourinho is a long term admirer.

Talisca has been in great form for Besiktas this season scoring 10 times and providing five assists in all competitions this season.
