Genoa president is ready to send goalkeeper Eduardo on-loan to Benfica for the new season.
There were big question marks over the error-prone shot-stopper and he seems to be on the way out.
"Benfica have asked for Eduardo and we're ready to send him there on loan for a year," said President Enrico Preziosi.
"There will be no players in exchange from the Portuguese side. I am convinced Eduardo is a good goalkeeper, but I decided he'd be best somewhere else for a year to avoid being bombarded with criticism at the slightest mistake.
"We are looking for a new goalkeeper, but there is no rush, as don't forget we've got Alessio Scarpi and Cristiano Lupatelli too."
