The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Besiktas from Benfica.
Talisca had a fine season with Besiktas, with the midfielder netting 20 goals and chipping in with seven assists in all competitions.
And Gunes says Talisca will not sign a permanent deal with Besiktas, adding that a move may already be agreed with Liverpool.
"Talisca was already gone at the winter break," Gunes said after Besiktas’ final game of the season.
"I'm sorry that he won't be with us any longer.
"I wish he could stay for his sake and ours. He already had a deal in place."

He might be rivals with Cenk Tosun
Gunes went on to hint that Liverpool could be his destination, with the Besiktas manager claiming Talisca may be a rival to Everton striker Cenk Tosun.
"He might be rivals with Cenk Tosun," he added.
Should Liverpool land Talisca, he would be their second signing of the summer.
Naby Keita will link up with the Liverpool squad on July 1 after signing a pre-contract agreement last summer.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are back in action next weekend, with the Reds facing Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kiev (7:45pm kick-off).
