Aimar in Red

According to all 3 major Portuguese futebol dailies, Aimar, Benfica and Zaragoza, have reached an agreement for the Argentine to wear the sacred mantle next season.
Details are not yet available, but there were reports that Newcastle had made an offer for Aimar, that was around the 8.8mm, little is known about what Benfica did to lock up the deal.

As I write this, there's no official announcements by both clubs on their official sites. But according to media reports, Aimar will be introduced tomorrow.
Benfica will need to comunicate Aimar's acquisition to the Portuguese stock market authorities, only then will we have more precise information about the deal, which wouldn't surprise me if it involved player(s). According to reports, Rui Costa was authorized to up Benfica's offer to 8.5mm by the SAD, in order to lock up the deal.
