Agent of Benfica player confirms Newcastle negotiations with Pardew Newcastle United havent had a great week, first came the departure of Yohan Cabaye and then Lyons Clemnet Grenier turned the club down just after Alan Pardew made the pursuit public. Newcastle and Lyon had been getting closer on a fee but the players agent revealed to French press on Thursday that Grenier had decided against the move, partly because he didnt want to be considered as the next Yohan Cabaye, but the first Clement Grenier. Theres a new name on the block, and thats Benficas Filip Djuricic, his agent Ulisses Santos, has been quoted by A Bola as confirming interest and the possibility of a deal before the window shuts Yes, the news about Newcastle is true. I have spoken to Alan Pardew this week. Lets see what happens by the end of tomorrow [Friday]. The 21 year old has been a highly rated youngster but is finding it difficult to break into Benficas side. Hes a versatile attacker and has proved in the past to have a knack for scoring goals. A Bola reported in November that Benfica were ready to sell him. Of course, interest in Djuricic is simply a theory and it will be interesting to see if Celtics scouting of Benfica continues and whether a move is made. Sports Witness
