The outside Benfica's Eduardo Salvio like in the Premier League. The player, who has a buyout clause of 60 million euro, could leave Portugal in the face of an important offer. This is at least what has been collected from A Bola, that Manchester City and Tottenham will soon come forward its proposal.

60 million Euro? Fuck me, I take it he is a category 1 player then, lol.

Plays mainly as a right winger, erm Navas anyone.

We've decided to sell him now. His eyes are too blue.

Can anyone be too blue ?? :)

Another Argentine as well.

Get him in if the price is right.

Great talent, he would excite alot of people here i believe. However the quoted price is ridiculous.

He really is the sort of plaayer that fans love. Constantly hustling and bustling, strong, fights for everything, takes people on, incredibly direct. If we hadn't signed Navas or if Salvio played LW instead then I could see it happening, but I can't honestly see us having 2 right wingers and no left wingers. I wouldn't mind us going for Gaitan instead, as he's more versatile across the attacking midfield positions

Holy shit, Herbert says we've made a £25m bid for him.

Manchester City appeared to be continuing their ambitious summer acquisition programme last night, with Benfica's Argentinian right winger Eduardo Salvio the subject of a €30m (£25.8) bid from the club, according to several respected sources in Portugal.

City have not yet responded to inquiries about the bid but Benfica are already understood to have begun the task of replacing the 23-year-old. The Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira Ferreira is understood to be asking €40m (£34.4m) though a compromise would appear likely.

City, who this week secured the signature of Alvaro Negredo from Sevilla for around £16m, with £4m add-ons, are also close to securing Stevan Jovetic for £22.4m plus add-ons.

Salvio is a similar player to Jesús Navas, the winger, who completed a £17m move, rising to £21.5m in add-ons, from Sevilla to City last month. A pure right winger, he is known for mixing defensive duties with an ability to score 15 goals a season. He played every game last season for Benfica.

New manager Manuel Pellegrini left City’s South African training camp to spend a few days back home in Chile yesterday. The 59-year-old unexpectedly took a flight out of Durban early this morning, with a personal issue to attend to in Santiago. It meant assistant boss Brian Kidd will be in charge when City took on Amazulu in Durban last night.
