Oscar Cardozo: 'I could leave Benfica'

Benfica striker Oscar Cardozo has revealed that he could make a move to the Russian Premier League during the summer.

Cardozo is likely to depart Estadio da Luz before the start of the next campaign, and the Paraguayan has admitted that he would be open to a transfer to a Russian side.

The 31-year-old is quoted by Izvestia as saying: "It is possible that I will leave Benfica this summer, after the World Cup, especially since I have offers.

"There is a strong league in Russia. Everyone can see that Russian clubs have signed fine players, many of whom I know."

It is being reported that Lokomotiv Moscow and Rubin Kazan could make an offer for the South American forward.
