Benfica in talks to sign Cavani

Liga NOS Finances make deal difficult

A dream XI of free transfers: Cavani, Willian, David Silva, Pedro, Gotze...

Edinson Cavani's brother and agent, Fernando, is in Lisbon holding talks with Benfica.

The 33-year-old striker is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain once his contract expired on June 30.

Benfica are interested in g Cavani and have made an offer to the player.

However, as MARCA understand, it will be difficult for Benfica to agree because of the forward's financial demands.

Edinson himself is currently back in Uruguay and looking to try a new league as he nears the end of his playing career.

LaLiga Santander is a league that interests him, but don't rule out a possible switch to Portugal either.
