Benfica are reportedly considering making an offer for Manchester United midfielder Anderson.
The 24-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot at Old Trafford since joining from Benfica's rivals Porto during the summer of 2007.
As a result, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is said to be willing to allow the Brazilian to leave Old Trafford for the right price.
That news has alerted Benfica, who are seeking a replacement for wantaway midfielder Alex Witsel, according to reports in Portugal.
Some speculation has even claimed that Benfica would consider using Witsel as bait to land Anderson.
