Benfica are willing to sell youngster Florentina Luis this summer, but Fulham are yet to match their asking price.
That’s according to Récord, who say that the Portuguese club want €45m if they are to let him leave.
That’s seen them already reject bids worth ‘lower amounts’ that included a ‘purchase clause’, with one of them coming from Fulham.
The newspaper reports that they are in the ‘the race’ for the midfielder and made a loan offer worth €2m that included a purchase option of €25m.
That, though, was the lowest of the three bids to have arrived so far with AC Milan and Monaco having attempted one-year loans with a €30m option included.
None of those are close to what Benfica want, though, and so far there has been ‘no progress in negotiations’ as a result.
Fulham remain keen, with manager Scott Parker believing that Luis has the ‘ideal profile’ to help his team in the Premier League.
Talks between the two clubs ‘did not stop’, but so far the Cottagers have failed to convince Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira.
