Portuguese giants Benfica are reportedly closing in on the signing of Real Madrid youngster Jese Rodriguez.

Record claims that talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage.

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira reportedly flew to Madrid last week for talks over a move.

Rodriguez's current contract with Real Madrid is set to expire at the end of the season, but Benfica are keen to keep their good relationship with the Spanish side and have decided to hold talks over a move.
