Maxi e Binya de castigo

Maxi Pereira e Binya não poderão ajudar a equipa na recepção ao Belenenses. Os jogadores estão castigados por causa dos cartões que viram durante o clássico. Maxi Pereira foi admoestado com um cartão amarelo (o 5.º da série), e o internacional camaronês foi expulso depois de uma entrada sobre Lisandro, mesmo ao cair do pano. Chalana terá de encontrar alternativas.

The Stockmarket authority (CMVM) is going to decide in May whether or not to call for the Public Prosecutor to investigate whether or not a crime was committed when Benfica announced there was an alleged takeover bid for the club by Chinese investors.

A source from CMVM told Lusa news agency that they
haven't decided whether they would ask the Public
Prosecutor's office to investigate the facts or to launch a
lawsuit against Vasco Pereira Coutinho for manipulating
the market through news of the bogus bid.

The Portuguese entrepreneur came forward in July of last
year on behalf of a group of Chinese investors who were
allegedly interested in buying a major share of the
Benfica plc. At the time Benfica was the target of a
hostile takeover bid on the part of Joe Berardo.

The Brazilian player's current contract expires in the summer, with the 32-year-old being thought to have several offers from clubs on the table.

Léo has been an important figure in the Eagles' defence since joining from Santos in 2005, but Benfica seem uninterested in rewarding him with an extension, despite having pledged his wish to stay at Estádio da Luz on multiple occasions.

The club's future sporting director, Rui Costa, has said that he would like Léo to stay at Benfica, but with the Lisbon-based club having signed Jorge Ribeiro on a free transfer and being reportedly on the market for a new left-back, Léo has little chances of being part of the team's plans for the new campaign.

He is reported to have offers from Brazilian and European clubs, and will begin studying them at the end of the season if Benfica fail to make a last-minute offer.

Benfica still have 2 very tough matches until the end of the season, you'll play at Amadora and against Setubal at home. I wouldn't be too confident if I was a Benfica fan, you fluked the win against Belenenses.
