Portuguese club Benfica have confirmed that Everton have made a formal offer to purchase their 50% stake in Portuguese prodigy Manuel Fernandes.

Reports from the Reuters news agency in Lisbon suggest that the Benfica chairman Luís Filipe Vieira and the board will now sit down and consider whether to accept the offer or whether to keep the player by purchasing the other 50% of his footballing rights - currently held by Media, Sports & Entertainment Investment Banking Group.

The transfer, even if accepted, is unlikely to be "simple", due to the companies involvement in the Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano scandal at West Ham United.

Fernandes has a contract with Benfica until 2011 and the purchase of his rights from Benfica is believed to be in the region of 9 million euros (roughly £6.1m).

It is believed Everton would then have to negotiate for the remaining 50% from Media, Sports & Entertainment Investment Banking Group to appease Premier League transfer rules.

 
So? This goes on newsnow and shows to all fans across the world.

Its a totally different board to the blue room.

On another note great news :D
 
Don't dare to get my hopes up too much, but I'd love for this to come true before the transferwindow closes. :)

But it's interesting that he isn't in the squad for their european cup match tomorrow...

“Benfica’s Manuel Fernandes broke off from training with the team this morning in preparation for the game with FC Copenhagan as the midfielder could be heading for the exit to Everton. The player’s absence from the team hotel received no official explanation from the club, but speculation is mounting that he will move to the city of The Beatles where he played last season on loan. It must be remembered that if Manuel Fernandes is used in the game with FC Copenhagan he would be ineligible to represent another team in European competitions this season.”

Do we really need this quote on three threads???
 

Ah ha! found number 3!! :P

Seriously though, I hope Fernandes doesn't play against Copenhagan because we would really need him in europe if he does come to us to add extra flair for the european games.

Quality signing if all the speculation is true, if we just signed Fernandes and nobody else this summer I'd be reasonably pleased.

He has been removed from the squad and if that's true... then it indicates that the board is at least seriously thinking about selling him. The prize for him would decrease if he plays since any potential buyer wouldn't be able to use him in europe this season.

Would love to see him sign for us permanently soon.

We don't merge threads as they tend to get misleading and confusing. How's about taking the bit of advice onboard and fostering a happy atmosphere here?

Woah, chill out Jon he's just saying does it really need to be posted in 3 threads if someone as you said doesn't check one of the threads then its there loss besides its not as if he's signed up or anything it hardly warranted you posting the same posts in three different threads.

Infact it was quite irrating when I finished the first one, got too the second one read it half way down and then realising its the same post that I had just read.

Ghost didn't mean anything by it, it was just a little irrating for those of us who do check all the threads.
