Brazil international Anderson Talisca has attracted widespread interest after hitting red-hot form this season.

Talisca has scored 16 times and providing four assists for Besiktas – including four Champions League goals.

The 23-year-old has excelled at Besiktas over the past two seasons but he is on loan from Benfica.

The Black Eagles want to keep Talisca on a permanent deal, club president Fikret Orman has made no secret that they want the attacking midfielder to stay.

Haberturk meanwhile reported that the Istanbul giants have an elaborate plan to sign Talisca and then sell him.

Per the source, Besiktas have a buyout option to sign the 1.91m tall star for €21 million before the end of the campaign.

The reigning Super Lig champions plan to sign Talisca and then sell him to an unnamed Chinese outfit for €40m (£35.5m).

Besiktas would effectively make nearly 100 percent profit inside the same transfer window.

The Black Eagles do however, face competition from Liverpool if they fail to complete the transfer before the end of the window.

Turkish-Football have reported the Reds keeping close tabs on Talisca throughout the season.

Firmino’s Brazil international teammate is a transfer target this summer for the Premier League giants according to O Jogo.
