Monaco Enter Talks With 1.91m Tall Liverpool Target Who Has 4 Champions League Goals This Season

Benfica attacking midfielder Anderson Talisca is well into his second season on loan at Besiktas.

The 1.91m tall attacking midfielder helped the Black Eagles to the league title last season and his side could end up lifting the championship for a third successive season this term.

The Black Eagles are keen on signing Talisca on a permanent deal but his impressive form has attracted suitors from elsewhere.

Talisca is likely to leave Benfica considering he burnt bridges with the club over a dispute where he claimed the Portuguese giants wronged him and his daughter.

The question is where will the Brazilian midfielder end up next season?
