Suazo Joins Benfica

Subject: Suazo Joins Benfica Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:47 am

According to Laromasiamonoi.it, Inter striker David Suazo is on the verge of signing for Roma, and could complete the transfer either tonight or tomorrow morning.

It has been repeatedly reported in recent days that Roma are looking to sign one more attacker before the end of the summer transfer window on September 1.

Following the news that Real Betis were just hours away from purchasing Shakhtar Donetsk’s Nery Castillo, the Italian press this morning reported that just two candidates remained to fill the vacancy at the Stadio Olimpico – Monaco’s Jeremy Menez, and Suazo.

Laromasiamonoi.it is this evening claiming that it will be Suazo who will be probably making the move to Roma, and that his transfer could be completed as early as tonight or tomorrow morning.

The Honduran will also arrive in a permanent deal, and not initially on-loan as had been reported earlier this morning.

Suazo only joined Inter from Cagliari last summer for €10m, but he failed miserably to live up to expectations. The writing has been on the wall for his Inter career for a few months now, and there is no space for him up-front due to the presence of Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Cruz, Crespo, Balotelli and Mancini.

The final blow was struck on Sunday night when Suazo was not even named in the squad for the Italian Supercup with Roma, which all but signalled the end of his Inter career.[b]

Official: Suazo Signs For Benfica

Inter forward David Suazo has completed his move to Benfica, the Portuguese club have announced.

The Honduran had seemed certain to join Roma earlier this week, and indeed it was even reported by some sections of the press that the striker would sign for them on Wednesday.

However, the Giallorossi opted for Monaco’s Jeremy Menez instead, and now Benfica have announced that Suazo has officially signed for them.

The 28-year-old arrives on loan, but it is not yet clear whether or not there is an option to make this move permanent next summer.

"I am very pleased to have joined Benfica,” said Suazo.

“I was by convinced Rui Costa, and I know that a really interesting project is in place.”

Good luck for Suazo at Benfica and now we can easily say that Quaresma is an Interista.
