    its official Luisao the new central defender for Benfica, Benfica owns 50 percent of the pass, 2.5 million euros.




    Futebol – Luisão já é do Benfica



    O Cruzeiro chegou esta tarde a acordo para a venda ao Benfica do «internacional» brasileiro Luisão. O clube acordou na venda de 50% do passe do jogador a um grupo de empresários portugueses ligados a Juan Figger por 2,5 milhões de euros.


    De acordo com a imprensa brasileira, que avançou esta noite (tarde no Brasil) com a notícia, «foram os empresários que conseguiram a transferência de Luisão para o Benfica».

    O defesa-central já se despediu dos seus companheiros de equipa e poderá viajar para Lisboa ainda na noite desta terça-feira ou o mais tarde na manhã de quarta-feira, ainda de acordo com fontes atrás citadas.

    Luisão já não defrontará o Coritiba, quarta-feira à noite, para o Campeonato Brasileiro. A venda do defesa, que vinha sendo negociada desde a última sexta-feira, quando Luís Filipe Vieira se deslocou ao Brasil, acabou por ser hoje concretizada.

    Na decisiva reunião que hoje teve lugar em São Paulo, participaram Giuliano Bertolucci, empresário de Luisão, e o vice-presidente do Cruzeiro, Zezé Perrella.

    Luisao's addition will help Argel and Ricardo Rocha. Argel and R.Rocha get burned sometimes because Benfica doesn't have any left defender of quality. R.Rocha has had to cover Cristiano's back in games that many times it leaves Argel by himself in the middle. Argel and Luisao playing as central defenders will allow R.Rocha to move to left for the time being.

    Actually the left back, Cristiano has been more than adequate the first two games. Argel and RR have not.

    Agree, the bigest problem are the central defenders, they sucked against Lazio.

    Plus, Luisão is not just a nice defender, he's a goalscorer who acts as surprise-element, because of his height (1m92). And considering his low price, Benfica gained a true bargain.

    Too bad for us.

    what about Leidlson? he looks like his a bargain for Sporting, Rochemback back from Barcelona ,and Polga.
    its the Cristiano Ronaldo money at work

    I'm not sure; Liedson failed to score in last few games in Corinthians, since that frustrated transaction with an ukranian club. He could be either a great bargain or a major disappointment - and personally, I'd put my cards on the latter.
