According to reports in Portugal, Besiktas could sell forward Cenk Tosun in order to make Talisca’s move to the Turkish giants permanent.
Tosun has again been linked with Crystal Palace in recent days, after the Eagles previously tried to sign the Turkey international in the last window.
Portuguese newspaper Record have reported Besiktas want to sign Talisca outright after his successful loan spell from Benfica. The Turkish side are on the verge of agreeing a lucrative sponsorship which will help to fund a €25m deal for the Brazilian.
However, it’s also claimed they may need to sell players to sign the Benfica attacker, and Tosun heading to Crystal Palace in January is stated as the ‘most likely’ solution for Besiktas.
This week we covered reports from Turkey that Crystal Palace are willing to pay £22.4m to sign Tosun in the next window, after they failed to land the player in the summer.
The Premier League side had a bid accepted by Besiktas, but the offer came too late in the window for the Turkish champions to bring in a replacement.
Last week it was reported Crystal Palace sent a scout to Istanbul to watch Tosun, when Turkey took on Iceland in the World Cup qualifiers.
