Brazilian defender Emerson could be on his way out of Estadio da Luz this summer only a year after signing with the club.
The Reds faced a difficult task in replacing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao at the helm, but placed their faith in two new acquisitions. Emerson was bought from Lille, while Spanish veteran Joan Capdevila was lured in from Villarreal.
While Emerson has gone on to have a moderate amount of success in Lisbon, Capdevila has failed to make his presence known.
The La Roja International is rarely a part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’ plans and is set to leave the club after failing to feature in the UEFA Champions League completely.
Benfica do not have an apt back-up plan to Capdevila and furthermore, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442’s displays in recent weeks have set off rumours that he could be on his way out of the Stadium of Light in the summer.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 in the Blues visit to Lisbon and it has convinced the club hierarchy that he should be offloaded at the earliest.
Currently the left-flank is the weakest point in Jorge Jesus’ talented side and the trainer has been scouring the market for potential recruits.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Ansaldi-c9499 has been heavily lined with a move to Benfica and last summer also reiterated his admiration for the Portuguese giants. However a transfer failed to materialize as the Eagles weren’t able to reach a compromise with Rubin Kazan.
This time, though, the club are in dire need of a quality left-back and Ansaldi definitely possesses the right attributes to succeed at the highest level.
Rubin Kazan will demand a hefty transfer fee for their prized asset, but this window will see the Reds lose a number of players and the money raised by them could be used to fund the deal for Ansaldi.
However whether the Argentine arrives in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joan-Capdevila-c18631 who were both signed as replacements for Coentrao, but have not even come close to
matching the high standards of the Seleccao star.
