AS Roma agree deal for Talisca

Both Fotomac and Il Corriere della Sera are reporting that AS Roma have had a bid accepted for Brazilian midfielder Talisca.

The 24-year-old has largely impressed during a two-year loan spell with Besiktas, but the Black Eagles are not in a position to trigger a €21 million buy-out clause.

Nevertheless, several top European clubs have joined the chase for his signature, and latest reports suggest that AS Roma are winning the chase.

The Giallorossi have reportedly had a bid accepted by Benfica, meaning they now have permission to negotiate personal terms with the player.

Having scored impressive 26 goals in 52 league outings for Besiktas, it is hardly surprising that Talisca is on the radar of top European sides.
