Born: April 24, 1987

I played for four years in Porto and our biggest rivals were Benfica. But I always had respect for the club, I don't hate Benfica.

Hulk

Benfica against Manchester United is very special for me. Benfica is my real club but Manchester United is my English club. We are together in history.

Eusebio

I am delighted to be part of a club as important as this one. I really want to help so that Benfica continues with its success and I'm very hopeful of playing well.

Raul Jimenez

Six years at Ajax and eight years at Tottenham, that reflects the way I want to be as a footballer, I like stability and that is what Benfica offered me and that was very important for me.

Jan Vertonghen

It's one of the best leagues in Europe in football. Benfica in my opinion is one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world.

Freddy Adu

Every club you sign for, they give you the same pitch - 'We've got a big project, big ambitions. We want to achieve this and that. We want to kick on' - and I just happen to be lucky that City was the one club that didn't lie about it.

Vincent Kompany

I want to finish in Portugal, in Benfica.

Ederson

I've always been very good at playing long balls. That was an attribute that my old club Benfica used to exploit because you can't be offside from a goal-kick.

Ederson

I've played regularly in a big club at Benfica, where it is not easy and there is a lot of pressure. In those years I learned to be a winner and play under that pressure.
