LISBON, June 26, 2009 (AFP) - Argentine forward Javier Saviola could finally put an end to a frustrating spell with Real Madrid after the Spanish giants agreed to sell him to Lisbon side Benfica.

Saviola, who was used sparingly by the Spanish giants last season and had expressed his desire to move, is set to sign a three-year deal with an extra year's option according to the Portuguese league side.
