Liverpool’s chase for Benfica midfielder Florentino Luís continues to be reported by the Portuguese media.
Back last week, we had already covered O Jogo’s report which said ‘exploratory contacts’ had been made for the Reds for the transfer of the 23-year-old.
Today, it’s newspaper Record which says Liverpool have the player ‘under their eye’, with him ‘referenced’ by Jürgen Klopp’s side.
Liverpool are said to be ‘studying a possible attack’ for him, even though no offers seem to have been made for now.
A sign that the talks seem to be in very early stages is that Record doesn’t even mention a price for which Florentino would potentially move to Anfield next year.
Despite being protected by a big €120m release clause, as usually done by Benfica, the midfielder is actually by Transfermarkt at only €8m, especially because of the recent loan spells he had.
The 23-year-old has made 18 appearances for the Portuguese club this season, picking up one assist.
