Blues Look To Benfica For Comfort

Benfica are said to be ready to sell two of their best players to Chelsea. The cash-strapped club have put a $30 million price tag on Serbian winger Lazar Markovic, 19, and claim they are in discussions with Jose Mourinho's side about a January switch.

Portuguese media are also reporting that Chelsea are interested in re-signing Nemanja Matic who moved to Benfica as part of the David Luiz deal in 2011.
