Super-agent Jorge Mendes has travelled to London to arrange the sales of Manchester United and Chelsea targets, according to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.

Another newspaper, Jornal De Noticias , reports that Mendes joined Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira for a trip to the UK yesterday with the intention of brokering deals for the transfers of Argentine pair Nico Gaitan and Eduardo Salvio.

O Jogo picks the story up there and points out the Chelsea and Manchester United have already both lodged enquiries to check the availability of both players.

Benfica are said to want a fee of €60m for their two stars.

Gaitan, aged 27, has been linked with a switch to United for some time. The former Boca Juniors attacking midfielder has been at Benfica since 2010.

Salvio, aged 24, is a winger who arrived at Benfica from Atletico Madrid. He started his career with Lanus in his homeland before joining Atletico in 2010.

He had a loan spell at Benfica in the 2010/11 season before signing permanently in 2012.
