Leicester City set to join Everton in hunt for midfielder – First bid to be made soon

Leicester City are set to put up a fight against Everton to sign Florentino Luís from Benfica, the Portuguese media says.

According to newspaper Record, the Foxes not only want the midfielder but already prepare an offer for him.

For now, it’s unclear how much Leicester City will put on the table, despite the outlet’s confidence that the bid will arrive at Benfica very soon.

It’s claimed that the Eagles already turned down a €30m offer from an English club, so the Foxes will have to make a big effort to convince them with a new bid.

Record highlight a specific competitor that Leicester City have, and that’s Everton. The Toffees are said to have been keen on the signing for a long time, having already shown their intentions back in January, and should place an offer for Florentino in the coming weeks as well.

The player looks positively on moving to the Premier League, even though he won’t force his way out. So it seems a lot will depend on how much Everton and Leicester City will offer Benfica.
