Benfica chief admits Man Utd, Chelsea could pick off their best talent

Benfica coach Jorge Jesus admits they face losing their top names during the January market.

Defender David Luiz is wanted by Chelsea and Manchester City, Oscar Cardozo is interesting Liverpool, while fullback Fabio Coentrao has been linked with the Reds and Manchester United.

"It is inevitable that players will leave this team in January, or at the end of the season," said Jesus.

"None of the three big clubs in Portugal have the capacity to ensure their best men stay.

"Last year we lost Ramires and Di Maria and this season will be the same."
