Besiktas provide transfer update on Manchester United target Anderson Talisca

Turkish side Besiktas have revealed that they have activated a clause to loan Benfica attacker Anderson Talisca for a further 12 months, the Sun report.

In an interview earlier this month, Talisca claimed that Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is his long-term admirer and that he was hopeful of completing his potential move to Old Trafford later this summer.

Talisca spent the entire 2016/17 campaign away on loan at Besiktas and the Turkish giants have now confirmed that they have triggered a clause in the highly-rated attacker’s contract that will keep him at the club for an additional 12 months, meaning Manchester United will have to wait at least until next summer to lure the 23-year-old to England.
