Benfica are keen to make Jose Antonio Reyes' loan deal from Atletico de Madrid permanent and will use money from the sale of Angel Di Maria or Oscar Cardozo to fun the deal, according to a report.
The Portuguese club are preparing to make some changes in the summer and they are keen to sell at least one star name in order to fund a spending spree that will include the former Arsenal winger.
Reyes has become a popular figure at Benfica during his season-long loan from Atletico and he too would welcome the chance to make the move on a full-time basis, O Jogo state.
Los Colchoneros are reported to want €7 million for 75 per cent of the Sevilla-born star's rights and Benfica are set to meet that by May 31 in order to seal the deal.
Funds will come from the possible €20 million sale of Di Maria or a €15 million transfer involving Cardozo, with both players attracting plenty of interest.
