The deal is done. Benfica’s Anderson Talisca will play in the Premier League next season after a €25m transfer. The buying club? Well, that’s just a detail.
It sounds like a joke, but it’s not. A Bola are reporting on Friday that the Brazilian is off to England, but his destination is still unknown by the newspaper.
The reason of all this mystery would be his problems to get a work permit, since he doesn’t meet the initial requirements, but would have a good chance on appeal.
At the start of the week, it was said that Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira was conducting negotiations in London. Now the newspaper claims he’s back at the training camp as the sale is sealed.
Talisca was mostly linked to Liverpool recently, and they’re the only Premier League club mentioned in the article. Some news also speculated a Wolverhampton move, but A Bola are saying it’s a club from the Premier League.
We covered Portuguese claims a couple of days ago which said it Liverpool who were in talks, but we’ve doubtful the whole way through.
Is Jurgen Klopp ready to splash €25m on the Brazilian attacker?
