Just saw this on Transfer Market Web's site. Could be a possibility, I have not heard anything from his camp in a while?? This site is pretty good for this stuff.

after all the players we just acquired dont know if we have room for him......
he would definitely be an asset here especially with his quick one touch release. Which IMO all our forwards desperately lack.
is he still currently on contract? how could he be transferred in now that the MLS window is closed? i don't think he's a free agent.
if only....
lots of football and goals left in him
Same site that said Sukur would sign with us.
I just love the fact that any over-the-hill star that is in his 30s is automatically considered to go to MLS.
Being a Benfica fan myself and seeing him play for Portugal and also seeing him score Sunday, I would say that he is still a player to be feared around the box.
He is quick and can find the net in a hurry. Rumblings have him saying no to TFC because of the turf, as he was here last year during the friendly VS TFC.
Not saying that is the only reason, but Toronto is the only place he would consider based on our Multi-Culturism. If we get grass, that might sway him, but I still think teams in Europe would be higher on his list than coming to MLS.
Didn't he already turn us down though?
Because of the pitch, YES. Although it was a better field than the one played on at Skydome about 10 years ago.
He loved the city when they came for the friendly, very Portuguese as many of us know and the fans were incredible, but to go from playing on grass your whole life and then playing on BMO Field is a few steps back for him.
Also, Europe holds more for him then MLS right now. With the youth on Benfica right now, he is feeling young again and wants to stay with them and see what happens.
I have followed his career for awhile,if he came here he would help us big time.He is very quick inside the box,very good in give "n" go passing,he is a good finisher,good in the air,if does come over hopefully he will make Toronto his home.
