OFFICIAL: Benfica Sign Real Madrid's Javier Saviola
The Argentine is going to Portugal after an unproductive spell with Real Madrid.
Javier Saviola had been linked with a loan move to the Estádio da Luz but Benfica have instead opted to make this a permanent move.
The Eagles have released a statement to the Portuguese stock market to confirm the signing of Saviola for a fee of 5 million euros.
The 27-year-old will fly to Lisbon in the next few days and will sign a three-year contract upon passing a medical with the club.
Saviola will now reunite with Pablo Aimar, with whom he enjoyed great success during their time at River Plate.
El Conejito is hoping that this new challenge will put his career back on track after failing to impress at Real Madrid during his two-year stint.
