Paraguayan star Oscar Cardozo rules out exit from Benfica – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Benfica ace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo has ruled out the possibility of parting ways with the club, claiming that reports linking him with a lucrative move to the Turkish Super Liga are nothing but lies.
The mercurial forward was earlier reported to be unhappy at Benfica and lamented the meager wages he had been receiving at the club. In order to secure his financial future, Cardozo allegedly told reporters that he was considering a switch to Turkey, after
two unnamed Istanbul teams upped their interest in signing him.
“I wanted to go to Turkey. My age is advancing, and here I am not making money,” the 28-year-old was quoted as saying.
However, in a turn of events, Cardozo has revealed that the above comments have no base in reality and he is indeed happy at Estadio da Luz.
"That's a lie. I have not spoken to any newspaper in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026. I feel very well at Benfica and want to continue at the club," said the attacker.
Cardozo has been one of the most prolific players in the Portuguese league in recent times and is regularly regarded as one the brightest stars on the continent. However, the talented Paraguayan has somehow been unable to land a move to one of Europe’s bigger
clubs. The main reason being the ridiculous amount of money Benfica have set forth as the price tag for their coveted asset. Having a buyout clause of an incredible, €60 million, most sides just do not possess the cash to sign the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nacional-c39984 man.
And clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid, who do possess the ability to splash the cash, are least interested in landing the front-man and Cardozo has had to be content with his spell in Lisbon.
While it was thought that a move to the upcoming league of Turkey could give him the platform to succeed, the player is apparently happy with his current employers and does not wish to ply his trade in a foreign league.
