Benfica are showing an interest in Leicester City star Islam Slimani.

The Algerian striker, a £28 million flop in the Premier League, had a great record when he played for Benfica's rivals Sporting a few years ago.

According to A Bolain Portugal, Benfica are keen to add the front man.

However, an "anti-rival" clause in his contract may complicate the move, meaning he would have a tougher time going to a Sporting rival.

Slimani spent the past season on loan at Fenerbahce, who do not want to sign him permanently.
