Benfica are tied to pounce for veteran defender Joan Capdevila Villarreal.

The 33-year left-back Fabio Coentrao could replace, which was signed by Real Madrid in a £ 26.3 million move earlier this summer.

Capdevila agent has revealed that the Spanish were interested in motion, but declined further development.

According to news agency EFE, the two clubs are talking about the transfer, which could happen sooner than later.

The left side, a Spanish international was a key player in the side of the league since his arrival in 2007, but lost his starting job to Jose Catala, in recent times, and might try a move abroad to launch its downhill race.
