da wazamba： Manchester City look the favourites to land Benfica defender David Luiz. David Luiz is considered one the brightest talents in European football at the moment and Roberto Mancini is said to be very keen to tie up the deal this January.
da winzada777： Benfica rejected a £32m bid by Manchester City in the summer but after their failure to reach the second round of the Champions League, it seems that the Portuguese club are now ready to part with their prized asset.
The Sun reported last week that a Benfica insider said: “Going out of the Champions League affected our financial plans. We want to re-evaluate the situation.”
The defender would be an invaluable asset for Manchester City due to his versatility. He can double up a left back if needed – something Roberto Mancini looks for in his defenders.
Portuguese newspaper Record reports that Luiz was unhappy when Benfica rejected a bid from Manchester City in the summer, but sold Ramires to Chelsea and Angel di Maria to Real Madrid.
