Spanish and English clubs join race for Eduardo

Genoa head queue to sign Portugal goalkeeper

EduardoSporting Braga goalkeeper Eduardo looks sure to be making a big-money move abroad in the coming days. The Portugal number one is reported to be in talks with Genoa, but the Italians are facing strong competition for the net-minder’s signature.
 
Braga state they have received bids of 6.5 million euros from Spanish and English clubs, but no official proposal from Genoa. This despite press reports today saying Eduardo, who is currently on holiday, is in Italy holding talks with the Serie A club.
 
Eduardo followed up a highly impressive domestic season with a magnificent World Cup, and at 27 years of age is in the ideal situation to choose from what is sure to be a range of enticing options.
 
As for the Arsenalistas, given that Eduardo is almost certain to move on, Quim has picked up a serious injury (total rupture of the Achilles tendon), and Kieszek has been sold to FC Porto, the club are seeking to bring in replacements between the sticks in double quick time as they prepare for the Champions League qualifiers.
 
Polish goalkeeper Bialkowski is expected to join from English side, Southampton, and at least one more goalkeeper will be purchased before the season starts.

I wondered aloud before why Benfica had not snapped this guy up with a 3 Million buyout. I think it shows clearly Jesus' dislike of Portuguese players..

I surely hope he does not go to the Portuguese burial ground in Italy as they prefer Italians and he will not get a fair shake.

I too hope he goes to a better league such as the English, Spanish, or German..

any Portuguese player that thinks about Italy is retarded.. plain and simple.. it is a overly defensive minded league with dirty tactics and a xenophobic fanbase & media that does not cater to the flair oriented Porkchops..

Even for Eduardo it is not a good choice.. I would rather he play for Toronto FC..lol
Crazy for Eduardo

Completely agree with you Kevin/USA...I really want Eduardo in Benfica, but it looks unlikely now...Anyways I hope Eduardo doesn't go to Genoa...No offence to Genoa, but Eduardo deserves to play for a bigger team...Hell, I would rather stay in Braga instead of going to Genoa...Hopefully the rumors of other clubs like Man United and Arsenal trying to sign him becomes true because it would be great to see a Portuguese goalkeeper playing for a top club in England...

Forca Eduardo
why???

Eduardo was amazing during WC2010 and its no surprise big clubs are looking at him. He should be Portugal's new captain for the Euro 2012 qualifying.
