Benfica eye Alex Sandro and Axel Witsel – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 on the verge of a move to the Estadio da Luz
The Belgian sensation, Axel Witsel, has enjoyed scintillating form on the Domestic and International stage and his displays have earned him a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, according to reports.
The 22-year-old is currently under contract with Standard Liege but is continually touted to leave the club. His performances have raised eyebrows amongst European clubs with Manchester United reportedly keeping tabs on the youngster. However, their English
Premier League counterparts, Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385, have credited their interest with a €5 million bid for the highly-rated midfielder.
The Eagles are also rumoured to have been keen on the player but they had quelled their interest until recently. But the club has been left in tatters following the departures of players like Fabio Coentrao and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo also contemplating
his future with the Lisbon side, Benfica need to invest in the future and reports suggest that Witsel is high on their wish list.
While the competition for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 International’s signature is tough, the Portuguese giants are confident of securing their man after negotiating with Standard Liege to reach a compromise on €8 million. 
Alex Sandro on the radar of Benfica
Brazilian U-20 International, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Sandro-c4798, is reportedly being targeted by Benfica as a replacement for Fabio Coentrao. The 23-year-old, Coentrao, was not only a constant threat in attack for the Eagles and but an exceptional defender as well. The Portuguese
International joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid for a whopping €30 million earlier this week and has left the Lisbon side searching the market for options.
According to reports, Benfica’s search has ended and they have set their sights on the Brazilian prodigy. Sandro’s agent, Pablo Miranda, has also been adding to the speculation by saying that there has been an "approach of an entrepreneur on behalf of Benfica”
for his client.
Sandro came to prominence after impressing with the Atletico Paranaense http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532. Since his move to the Vila Belmiro outfit, he
has amassed 28 appearances and bagged one goal.
The 20-year-old is yet to be capped by the Selecao at senior level but has donned the famous yellow jersey at U-18 and U-20 levels.
