Portugal’s number one goalkeeper lands a loan move to Benfica
Selecao International Goalkeeper Eduardo has moved to Benfica on a loan deal following a disappointing season with Genoa in the Italian Serie A. The 28-year-old was an impressive performer for Braga and later shone at the 2010 FIFA World Cup with the Portugal
national team, gaining great reviews for his shot stopping.
His talents were quickly snapped up by Genoa after the World Cup for an alleged €4 million and he brought along him high expectations to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. However, a string of poor performances and high-profile errors smashed his once polished reputation.
A change of scenery was in order for the keeper, who had been integral for club and country in recent seasons.
Although several teams showed their eagerness in acquiring the services of the former Beira Mar man, Benfica ultimately won the race to sign him albeit on a season-long loan.
Genoa President Enrico Preziosi also endorsed the move and claimed that a return to his home country might help Eduardo return to his best.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 to Genoa. One year outside Italy may do him good,” the Red-Blues Superemo was quoted as saying.
Establishing himself as the number one choice for the Eagles would be easier said than done, as Eduardo will face stiff competition for a berth in the starting line-up from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Artur-c6727 and Mika.
