Benfica ace Oscar Cardozo wants a move to Turkish Super League – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Benfica and Paraguay star Oscar Cardozo has revealed that despite playing at the highest level in Portugal, he has still not made any money and due to his age, now wants to try his luck in Turkey.
The striker has been one of the most sought after players in the Portuguese Primeira Liga but for some reason has never been able to engineer a move to a bigger European club.
Consistently being ranked high in the scoring charts, Cardozo has attracted a lot of attention from European sides, particularly from Dynamo Kiev but the club failed to lodge their interest with the Eagles and lost out on their man.
Cardozo also gained accolades for his performances in the 2011 Copa America, where he hauled http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035.
While he lost out on silverware, the attacker was able to increase his profile and chances of earning a big money move.
His breakthrough finally came when he was playing with Benfica in the UEFA Champions League qualifier against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759. Cardozo bamboozled the Turkish defence with his skills and managed to garner praise from the clubs in Istanbul for his performances,
despite not getting on the score sheet.
In light of the recent interest in him, Cardozo announced that he would be open to a potential transfer due to financial burdens upon his ageing legs.
“I wanted to go to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026. My age is advancing, and here I am not making money,” the 28-year-old was quoted as saying.
While his talents and skills remain undoubted, the low salaries received in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984’s highest division seem to be the reason why one of its brightest talents is bent on plying his trade elsewhere.
However, a stumbling block to any switch would be the massive €60 million price-tag on Oscar Cardozo’s services. With the given amount, it remains to be seen whether the Istanbul clubs are still interested in signing the mercurial Paraguayan.
