All spanish reports are now saying it is up to him to pick between us or Benfica so one way or the other expect this deal to be done soon

If it's all down to him he'll choose Benfica me thinks.

 

Can't imagine they'll match the wages we'll be offering. Very little money in Portuguese football.

The relevant section was posted here hours ago:

 

Meanwhile, mid-afternoon yesterday seemed secure the handover of Aimar at Benfica but at the last minute came the offer from Newcastle's official 8.8 million and everything changed.  The Saragossa agreed upon the operation and the representative of Aimar was preparing to immediately close a deal with the English club. However, the Portuguese press revealed throughout the day as the sports director of Benfica, Rui Costa, was found yesterday in Zaragoza.  Alarmed by the outbreak of Newcastle, Benfica gave him permission to raise its offer to 8.5 million.  At the end of this issue remained open talks.  And still in the air Aimar's presence today in San Leonardo Yagüe.

I do like the idea of there being "an outbreak of Newcastle" :lol:

 

I can just imagine thousands of Spaniards developing Geordie accents and stumbling towards the nearest bar with an unquenchable thirst for Brown Ale.

 

:lol:

The fact that Aimar can run with the ball, find space and pass more than 5 yards makes this possible signing great news.  Undoubtably makes our team/squad alot stronger.

The thing is Portugese clubs tend not to pay, your big players such as Lucho Quaresma will be on 30k a week.

Lucho Gonzalez and Ricardo Quaresma are two different players.
