Talisca, aged 24, showed his strength, pace and gift during his contract with Turkish club Besiktas since August 2016. He netted 20 goals and provided seven assists in all matches during the 2017/18 season.
He was rumored to be offered 35 million pounds (47 million US dollars) by Manchester United, according to Portuguese source O Jogo.
Evergrande's boss Xu Jiayin proposed to reshuffle the club during the coming summer transfer period. Xu urged a profound replacement of foreign players and allowing sales of any domestic players over 23 years old.
