Manchester United assistant coach Carlos Queiroz has also been linked with the Benfica job but club spokesman Ricardo Maia quashed these reports.
He said: "At the moment our coach vacancy has been centred on Eriksson and we will not reveal other names.
"More details about our future coach will be announced next week when the Portuguese league and the Premier League finish."
Eriksson, who became a fans' favourite in his first season at City, would begin his third stint with Benfica if he is appointed.
A statement on Benfica's website said: "Following media reports, the club can confirm that it has had preliminary conversations with Mr Eriksson to fulfil our main coach vacancy.
"So far we have not discussed any contract details, such as duration or salaries."

"I don't think that City will be able to get anyone as good as Sven. I have supported City for a long time but this fiasco has really tried my patience. The premiership at the moment IS the strongest league in the world as the semi finals of the Champions League prove beyond any doubt. A top ten finish in your first season is a good start and should be built on - not dismissed as seems to be the case with the owner. My message is the one thing that most sucessful clubs have in common is that they are not always changing there manager. "
