Portuguese newspaper A Bola has revealed that Benfica are keeping close tabs on South American footballers Duvan Zapata and Lisandro Lopez.

The Eagles are ready to cash in on star defender Ezequiel Garay, and they have already started search for his replacement.

It appears that Benfica officials have made Arsenal de Sarandi stopper Lisandro Lopez their number one target and they have already opened talks with the Argentine club.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are preparing for life without Oscar Cardozo, who is set to leave the club after clashing with boss Jorge Jesus.

They are, therefore, looking at Estudiantes striker Duvan Zapata, who could arrive at Estadio da Luz in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old joined the Argentine club from America de Cali and went on to score 18 goals in 40 league matches.

Benfica yesterday announced the signing of Serbian forward Lazar Markovic on a five-year deal from Partizan Belgrade.
