After things had gone quiet for a few weeks, Florentino Luis finds himself right back in the rumour mill, with several clubs said to be chasing the 20 year old’s signature.
Portuguese newspaper Record take a look at the situation today, and they explain AC Milan are trying to sign the midfielder on loan with a mandatory purchase option.
Leeds United have ‘made their interest known’, according to the report, and in Spain it’s Real Betis who are most keen.
Benfica manager Jorge Jesus has assured Florentino he’ll get more minutes on the pitch next season, but the player and his agents are still open to offers. They’ve informed the Lisbon side that they’d like to hear of any approaches, and the youngster is tempted by being an important player elsewhere and also moving to a ‘big league’.
All of the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A are certainly that, so Florentino may well have the options he’s been hoping for.
From Benfica’s perspective, they won’t let Florentino go for less than €40m. Whether that’s too much for Leeds, Milan and Betis remains to be seen.
