SAVIOLA clinches deal to Benfica

He is finally out of the living hell that was Madrid for him.

Javier SAVIOLA has sealed a deal to join Lisbon giants Benfica, where he'll play for the next three years and he'll join his former River Plate and Argentina team-mate, Pablo AIMAR.

The permanent move costed Benfica 5 million Euros

Apart from SAVIOLA and AIMAR there are other Argentines there, such as Angel DI MARIA and another of their recent signings, José SCHAFFER (a left-back coming from Racing Club de Avellaneda).

Will the Little Rabbit get back on the radar for our national team with a guaranteed place in Benfica's first team?

We can only wish a player that has scored at every club where he played in the past (including Real Madrid), the best of lucks.

Great news about Saviola. I hope he can get it back in gear now. I always liked his ability to make things happen when given a chance. I think he really screwed up by not making a move to a smaller club three years ago, but now he has the opportunity to impress and reestablish himself.

He is my favorite player since when he arrive in Europe... He had a great form in 2006 under Pekerman... He created many chances against serbia... scored against Cote De Ivor... maybe he recharging in Portugal and will be back for the NT
But I heard many times he is very greed... first dollar... then football... last free seasons he choice dollars and bench not a pitch... anyway good luck to him...
