Benfica released a video last Tuesday, August 19, where Benfica fans can see how Florentino Luís' birthday was celebrated, who turned 26 in Istanbul, on the eve of the match against Fenerbahçe for the first leg of the Champions League play-off.

After his teammates sang him happy birthday, the Portuguese midfielder took the opportunity to speak to everyone present, thanking everyone for being there, revealing what would be the best gift he could receive, which led the Benfica squad to euphoria.

“I would like to be at home, but you are my second family. It's very good. The best gift I could have is to win the game tomorrow and pass the tie”, said Florentino Luís, to the delight of all present.

It is worth remembering that Florentino Luís has been losing his place in Benfica's starting lineup. The arrival of new reinforcements for the midfield made the player a less frequent bet for Bruno Lage. With several interested parties in Italy, a new club emerges in the race for the Portuguese player.

The defensive midfielder has a contract with Benfica until the end of the 2026/27 season, and is protected with a termination clause worth 120 million euros. In the four official games this season, he has always been a substitute used.
