Simao set for Liverpool
The wide man's agent Jorge Baidek has confirmed to skysports.com that the talks are heading towards a positive conclusion. "Now the operation is very advanced and we wait for a final solution in the next few hours," Baidek told skysports.com.
However Benfica are now trying to call off the deal with the reds because they don't want to lose such a good player. There have been suggestions that Benfica want Djibril Cisse in part exchange but that appears to be an unlikely scenario.
Simao would be a great signing for Liverpool and £10million seems a good price for a great wide player because if you think about it Chelsea paid £21million for Shaun Wright-Phillips. Simao would probablly replace Luis Garcia wide on the right and I don't think the Spanaird will be to happy about that. Good signing Rafa.
