Manchester City face stiff competition for Benfica midfielder Ramires.
Ramires is reported to have a £30m release clause in his contract but, with City able to splash the cash, he could make a sharp exit from Benfica in January.
His agent Wilson Gottardo said: "There are a number of European clubs showing an interest.
"When a player is doing so well at a great club like Benfica, it's natural other clubs will ask about him."
