Benfica duo Luisao and Oscar Cardozo are wanted by Manchester City.

The News of the World says agent Kia Joorabchian, who has strong links with City, met Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira and director of football Rui Costa in London last week to discuss a £15million double deal.

Brazilian centre half Luisao, 28, has a buy-out clause of 25m euros, although the Portuguese club are likely to accept less than this for him.

Paraguayan striker Cardozo, 25, has a buy-out clause of 50m euros, but he could also be sold for less.

Luisao said: "For me the idea is very interesting. All players dream of playing in English football and it's no different with me.

"I'm happy about the interest, although as long as I've got a contract I'm also happy here. I'm going to speak to my agent to hear of any news."
