Portugal trio may move after World Cup exit

"Eduardo's performance was brilliant. He made some very important saves," Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz told reporters after the 1-0 second-round loss to Spain on Tuesday.

After a fine season at Braga where he contributed much to the side's surprising title bid, the keeper had been linked to Portuguese champions Benfica. His strong showing in South Africa has prompted talk of a move to a bigger European league.

"Yes, there has been talk of a transfer. Let's see what happens in the next few days," the 27-year-old said.

"I have a contract with Benfica until 2015, but I don't know how things stand right now. It seems there are clubs interested," he told reporters.

"I would love to play for Benfica in the Champions League next season, but I'm not saying I want to be at the club forever, since in terms of budgets there are clubs that can offer more," he added.
