Rochemback: Keen on move
Middlesbrough midfielder Fabio Rochemback is open to a move to Benfica.
Benfica are keen to sign the Brazilian international and they see him as an ideal replacement for Manuel Fernandes.
Reports in Portugal claim Benfica have made their interest in Rochemback known and the player has welcomed their overtures.
Benfica are now ready to hold talks with Middlesbrough to try and thrash out a deal to bring Rochemback to the Estadio da Luz.
"We are interested in this subject," Rochemback Snr told O Jogo.
"Fabio's desire is to play in Benfica and I do not believe there is any problem between Middlesbrough and Benfica for a deal.
"Now the decision is from the English.
"He has played for their rivals Sporting, but he is professional and is able to triumph in any club.
"Also it is very important that he knows coach Fernando Santos."
