More from Goncalo Lopes...

Reds prefer selling and have other offers from Italy and Spain
The Benfica and Tottenham are negotiating the loan Carlos Vinicius, found the platform next to the next process source. Talks continue at this point, but there is still no white smoke.

There is still no white smoke because Benfica has other offers for the definitive sale of the Brazilian striker, something more to the liking of the reds. However, the player, top scorer of the last league, prefers the Premier League and Tottenham . José Mourinho is looking for a forward to attack the spurs, since he only has Harry Kane and Carlos Vinicius is to his liking.

Jorge Mendes, businessman from Mourinho and Carlos Vinícius, is at the forefront of the negotiations and could be decisive in this process. Benfica have not yet accepted the offer, but Tottenham have also made it clear that they will not wait much longer for a decision.
Sounds very promising. Benfica will likely do Mendes' bidding in the end IMO.

It’s a fantastic deal for all involved. From the player’s perspective, he knows this is only a temporary move and he must perform if he wants to stay permanently. From our perspective, we get a motivated striker who, if it doesn’t work, will go back to his club, no stress trying to sell him and hopefully a more experienced Parrott returning. And for Benfica, they either get their player back or they get £37m at the end of the season.

Also leaves us with funds to focus entirely on Skriniar.

And ( even more importantly), he is by all accounts Jose’s preferred choice.

He's big strong and mobile and can hold the ball up so there's a lot to like here... he has the attributes we are lacking when Kanes on the bench or injured as well as not being Josh King or Troy Deeney ?

The news report is too specific now with loan + option to buy with figures mentioned. Simon Jones (Daily mail) is pretty good and news comes from AG and from Portuguese press. Pretty sure, this is very very close , if not done already

Best link up striker we’ve been linked to. Hard worker, big, yet also quick. Comfortable and used to playing in a 2 up top so can partner Kane if we choose. Loan means very little money up front leaving money for skriniar. Perfect deal.
