Man United agree deal to sign Anderson Talisca
Man United have reportedly struck a deal with Benfica to bring playmaker Anderson Talisca to Old Trafford, according to the European press via Team Talk.
Several outlets in Turkey – where Talisca is currently playing on loan to Besiktas - are suggesting that Jose Mourinho’s side have already agreed terms to sign the 23-year-old up, with the cost reported to be around £22 million.
Only last week, the Brazilian was reported to say that Mourinho ‘loved him’ and was a big admirer of his style of play.
Talisca plays for the Brazilian Under-23 side and he scored an impressive 13 goals in 22 appearances for Besiktas last season.
His old team-mate, Victor Lindelof, recently signed for the Red Devils in a deal worth €35 million, with a potential €10 million in add-ons.
The club could make it a trio of Benfica players if they manage to bring their target Nelson Semedo to Old Trafford as well.
