Brazilian ace Talisca linked with £21m Man United move delivers transfer update
Besiktas star attacking midfielder Anderson Talisca has responded to rumours linking him with a summer move.
Brazilian ace Talisca is currently on loan at Besiktas form Benfica.
“I know there are a few clubs that want me and that Benfica want to sell me to make money,” Talisca was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.
“I have rediscovered myself at Besiktas and really want to stay on for another season as I will continue to keep developing here. I have told Benfica I am happy here.
“I would like to stay for another season at least but we will see.”
The Black Eagles do have an agreement which will see Talisca extend his loan stay for another season.
That is of course unless a rival club activate his £21 million clause in which case they would be able to sign him on a permanent deal.
Besiktas are not in a financial position to activate his clause but Manchester United are.
Radyospor host Leven Umut Erol shared a video in which he revealed that United have made Benfica an offer that would trigger his release clause.
Erol said: “Manchester United have made an offer to Benfica for Anderson Talisca that will trigger his release clause, it looks like he will be saying goodbye to Besiktas.”

The 23-year-old does share the same agent with United boss Jose Mourinho – Jorge Mendes.
The Brazilian does not however, have a work permit and unless the Home Office grant him an exemption on the basis of being a special talent he would not be able to play in England.
Talisca has been in the form of his life this season scoring 16 times and providing four assists – a career high.
No other player has been directly involved in more goals in the Europa League knock-out stages – four goals, two assists.
Talisca already has two league titles under his belt from his time at Benfica and is almost certain to pick up another championship with Besiktas at the end of the current campaign.
