Anderson Talisca confirms Premier League interest

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 25 May 2018

Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca, linked with Manchester United, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers, hopes to ply his trade in England from next season.

Anderson Talisca has revealed that he is keen to join a Premier League club after confirming that he will leave Besiktas this summer.

The Brazilian midfielder is due to return to parent club Benfica following a two-year loan stint with the Black Eagles.

Rather than seeing out his contract at the Estadio da Luz, though, Talisca instead hopes to join a team in the English top flight.

Manchester United are the side to have been most strongly tipped to sign the 24-year-old, while Liverpool and newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers are also rumoured to be willing to meet his £35m valuation.

Asked by Brazilian outlet Correio which European league he sees himself playing in next term, Talisca said: "England. For the supporters, for it being a theatre, a show. Every game is a spectacle and I like it.

"There is interest, there is, but there is nothing certain. I have not hit anything yet. It's just speculation. These things of negotiation I cannot speak."

Talisca scored 20 goals in 47 appearances for Besiktas in the 2017-18 season from his attacking midfielder position.
