Liverpool have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Benfica's Anderson Talisca, but are said to be facing competition from Wolverhampton Wanderers for his signature.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder made 34 appearances for the Portuguese giants during the 2015-16 season, scoring nine goals and providing one assist.

According to Portuguese outlet O Jogo, Benfica have "agreed" to sell Talisca to either Liverpool or Wolves for approximately £20m, with Anfield being the Brazilian's preferred destination.

However, it is believed that there may be issues with a work permit being granted, given Talisca's lack of international experience, and the source claims that a switch to the Championship "is less likely to be blocked than one to the Premier League."

Talisca has represented Brazil at youth level but has yet to earn a senior cap despite a call-up to the squad in late 2014.
