    CELTIC have made an audacious bid to land £20m rated Benfica striker Lorenzo Melgarejo on loan for next season!
    The 21 year old Paraguayan international who cost the Superliga giants just £1m last year is currently farmed out to Portuguese club Pacos Ferreira where he has also caught the eye of Everton and Hannover by scoring goals for fun.

    But Benfica who have slapped the massive price tag on his head to fend off would be buyers admit they could lend him out again to gain more european experience.

    Celtic scouts watched him play last weekend and have asked to be kept in form with a view to the Hoops involvement in the Champions League next season.

    A Benfica source said : It is up to our coach what happens to Lorenzo . He either returns to us or he is allowed to gain more experience on loan elsewhere. A decision will be made before the summer. "

    He's scored 8 in 20 while on loan at Pacos Ferraira this season, he also scored 8 in 17 while playing for Independiente FBC. Admittedly, I've never heard of him but he seems to be rated highly.

    That's just the price-tag they have slapped on him because he's showing a lot of potential. He's not going to be getting a game in front of the likes of Cardozo.

    Don't think Benfica will loan a 20 million pounds striker to the SPL. If they do loan him, it will surely be to a more competitive league imo.

    He is not worth 20m, it would be like us putting a mad price tag on the head of James Keatings for example. And i am not normally a big fan of us loaning players unless they are absolute quality. Never heard of the lad but i trust John Parks judgement 100%.

    Doesn't look like he has the greatest goalscoring record, if he was worth £20m he'd be playing regularly and would be touted as one of Europe's big young talents. Maybe he's only rated at £20m by an unknown club from another universe.
