Benfica open to Oscar Cardozo exit

Oscar Cardozo has reportedly been told that he can leave Benfica, sparking interest from Chelsea and Everton.

The 28-year-old, who moved to Estadio da Luz in 2007, has scored more than 100 goals for the Lisbon giants.

However, with the club looking to reduce its wage bill, manager Jorge Jesus is prepared to let the player leave for £12m, according to talkSPORT.

As well as the Premier League pair, CSKA Moscow and Rubin Kazan are said to be considering bids for the player.
