The race to sign Anderson Talisca is hotting up in Europe and China.

The early media reports suggested that Manchester United and Liverpool were the two main teams who were after Talisca.

It is even said that United made a £35 million bid to acquire the Brazilian.

But a report in O Jogo claims that Jose Mourinho's side will have to fend off Chinese Super League clubs, who are also interested.

While the lure of United would sway the player, Chinese clubs would probably offer to double or triple the wages he is offered in England.

The 24-year-old has been playing on Besiktas as part of a loan agreement from Benfica. He managed 27 goals in 55 appearances for the Turkish side over two seasons.
