Mirror: Duo on alert for target

Manchester United and Liverpool are on alert over Eduardo Salvio's ongoing contract talks at Benfica.

The Argentina winger, 24, is currently tied to the Lisbon club until 2017, but wary of interest in his services the Portuguese giants are keen to extend.

Salvio's agent Agustín Jimenez was in meetings with Benfica officials on Sunday and Monday in a bid to add an extra year to his deal, but Salvio and his representative are pushing to lower his current release clause of €60million (£43.1m) in return for penning a renewal.

Benfica have confirmed that Manchester United had scouts at the Estadio da Luz last weekend, while Liverpool and Zenit St. Petersburg - managed by Andre Vilas-Boas - are known to be interested.

Spurs have also been linked with the speedster.
