Released Juventus winger Angel di Maria is in talks with Benfica about a surprise return.
Di Maria will leave Juve when his contract expires at the end of the month.
A return home to Argentina had been mooted for the veteran, but now Benfica has emerged as a serious option.
TMW says negotiations are now at an advanced stage between the two parties.
Di Maria left Benfica over 10 years ago for Real Madrid.
