The Bosnia & Herzegovina international has registered 103 goals and 99 assists in 356 appearances in all competitions since joining Basaksehir in 2011.
Visca scored 19 goals in all competitions last season, including six goals in the UEFA Europa League as Basaksehir reached the Round of 16.

Kick-Off Time
Man United edging closer to the knockout stages after an electrifying start

No team has ever failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition after winning their first three games in the group stage.
Welcome to VAVEL.com’s LIVE coverage of the UCL Champions League match: Istanbul Basaksehir v Manchester United

Manchester United fall to their first European defeat of the season as the referee blows the final whistle.
Basaksehir produced a disciplined performance and exploited United's defensive deficiencies with two ruthless and effective counter-attacks.
They lacked the final product with countless attacks breaking down and Solskjaer's changes left very little to be desired.
Demba Ba also proved that age is just a number with a fine performance, although his legs eventually wore tired towards the end.
Their form in the Champions League was the only defence mechanism in the debate regarding Solskjaer's future and another defeat against Everton on Saturday could seriously place his future in jeopardy.
