Benfica Sign Karadis 7/28/2004 7:41:00 AM Reports out of Portugal are suggesting that Benfica have signed Norwegian striker Azar Karadis from Norway for 1.5 million euros from Rosenborg. Karadis is a powerful striker with good technical ability and a free-kick specialist. With Nuno Gomes and Mantorras still recovering from injuries, manager Giovanni Trappatoni wanted to sign another striker to help them qualify for the Champions League. The 22 year-old striker impressed Benfica officials last season when they faced Rosenborg in the UEFA Cup.
