Benfica are eager to bring former Manchester United fullback Guillermo Varela back to Europe.

Varela has rebuilt his career in Uruguay at Penarol after leaving United last year.

O Jogo says Benfica management have been scouting Varela this season and keen to re-sign Varela this summer.

Varela's agent admits European interest is growing ahead of the summer market.

"We have received expressions of interest from Inter, Roma and Benfica," confirmed Pablo Betancur.
