Benfica sign another Serbia international

Miralem Sulejmani

Miralem Sulejmani has signed a five-year contract with Benfica, the Portuguese club said on Tuesday, taking their roster of Serbia internationals to four.

The 24-year-old was at the end of his contract with Dutch club Ajax. He joins compatriot Lazar Markovic, whose move from Partizan Belgrade was confirmed on Monday.

Last year’s Primeira Liga runners-up also recently signed attacking midfielder Filip Djuricic from Dutch club Heerenveen while Nemanja Matic has been in Portugal since 2011.
