Chelsea and Everton target Oscar Cardozo has been told he can leave Benfica, according to reports in Portugal.
The striker has scored more than 100 goals for Benfica since joining the club five years ago, but the Paraguayan has allegedly been told he is free to leave as they look to cut their wage bill.
With Chelsea and Everton both credited with an interest in Cardozo, competition is likely to be fierce, although a price tag of £12m may be too much for David Moyes’ side.
And there is also interest from Russia, with CSKA Moscow and Rubin Kazan also readying bids for the 28-year-old.
