Reduced transfer profit to make settlement

Pompey are rumored to reduce the amount Manchester City have to pay for Benjani, so that the club's current debt can be paid during the summer.

The Blues were paid an initial £4m up front for the Zimbabwean striker, with the rest due when Benj makes a certain amount of appearances. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we're trying to get the money up front from City, and therefore are asking for a lesser amount.

It is also rumored that a similar deal is being done with Lassana Diarra's move to Real Madrid - worth £19m, and Jermain Defoe's move to Spuds.

I for one would like to see Benjani back at Pompey, and maybe canceling out this debt could see him returning?
