Benfica's star striker Jonas is to leave the club after a meeting with club president Luis Filipe Vieira.

Having scored an incredible 99 league goals for the club in just 4 seasons, the Brazilian, who has been capped 12 times for his country, is now set to leave the Portuguese capital to bake a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

He had a sensational time at Benfica, winning three Primeira Liga titles in a row, as well as leading Benfica to the quarter finals of the Champions League Quarter Final in the 2015-16.

Jonas, incredibly, arrived at the Lisbon club on a free transfer from Valencia, and will surely go down as one of the greatest signings in the club's history.
