News from Portugal suggests there may be a new front runner in the race to sign Trabzonspor's Oscar Cardozo. A Bola reports that Sporting Clube de Portugal has made an approach to lure the Paraguayan forward back to the country where he once dominated defenses.
A prolific scorer for Benfica for the best part of a decade, Cardozo produced similar form in his first year in Turkey, but his sophomore season for Trabzonspor was less successful by his standards and those expected of him by his club. A recent rumor linked Cardozo to the New York Red Bulls and Real Salt Lake, and included suggestion of a multi-million dollar transfer fee since the player still has a year to run on his contract.
