According to bengali newspaper Sunil has been selected for pre season training with Benfica FC.If he can satisfy the club management in pre season training he will be awarded further contract.Otherwise he will play for indian I league club next season.
O my my!! Which newspaper? Although I wud say Bengali newspapers are no. 1 in spreading football related rumors. but they are also faster in finding the original news. lets hope for the best.
What i think is this is an attempt by Benefica to grab the share of the Indian pie. They will never give him a chance. Pre season training is great for him and India nonetheless <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
Portuguese Liga is not physically demanding like MLS or English Leagues.So Sunil Chettri might be able to put a better show
There is no way he'll make it to starting line-up with likes of Oscar Cordozo,Franco Jara,Nuno Gomes,Alan Kardec and Javier Saviola in the team. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying or Very Sad" /><!-- s -->
If Sunil signs for them then better loan him to some newly promoted team.

Well, he is professional enough, not to reveal any details till the deal is done
