I think there is little chance of that happening given Benfica's present financial situation. The club wanted to arrange a loan transfer, but Fiorentina only wanted to do permanent transfers.
O.K., for the last time....Benfica's present financial situation is not as bad as it once was. JVA messed up alot but Vieira and company have so far done a good job cleaning up the mess hall. This is outside the stadium debt of course. The stadium debt will be there as it will for the other clubs....
In terms of income after operations, Benfica was not in the red last year for the first time in awhile and used the excess as well as some contributions to clean up some debt in arrears....
If your confused, don't be, I'm a financial analyst and as a member of Sport Clube de Lisboa E Benfica I get an annual report to see where the heck my cash goes....
And I'm glad some of it went to getting Simao.....God Bless that man!
