Nottingham Forest are preparing a new attempt to sign Benfica midfielder Florentino Luís, according to claims from Portugal.
Newspaper Record writes that the Tricky Trees’ first bid was made before the Super Cup, which the Eagles played against Porto on Wednesday.
At the time, Nottingham Forest placed a €30m offer on the table, and that was turned down by Benfica.
Now it’s said the Reds want to raise the offer, although it isn’t said by how much.
Record writes that Florentino wants to play more, and since he didn’t start in any of Benfica’s games this season, a switch could suit him.
Florentino had been linked to Premier League clubs many times in the past, but this is the first time we get to see Nottingham Forest pursuing him.
The midfielder is currently valued by Transfermarkt at just €20m, so we should see how far the Reds will go to get his signing done.
