Benfica President Luis Filipe Vieira expects Watford to sign Peruvian winger Andre Carrillo for around €20m come the end of the season according to O Jogo.

The 26-year-old joined the Hornets on loan at the start of the season and there is believed to be an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.

The 36-times capped international was sought after by Marco Silva as the pair had a relationship from their time at Sporting CP but before the Portuguese coach's departure he was unsure over the likelihood Carrillo's stay would be extended.

He said: "At the end of the season we'll see what the decision is.

"We have the option and we'll see what the best solution is. It's a matter of business and the club will decide.

"What I can say is everybody at the club is happy with him.

"After it's a matter of business and our owner to think what the best solution is for us as a club."

Carrillo has made 26 appearances for Watford this season but has played just three minutes for new coach Javi Gracia which could put into doubt the business sense in making the move.

However with Benfica keen to sell perhaps it will leave some room for negotiation.
