Napoli push for Benfica champion, Rui Costa sets out terms | OneFootball

25/30 million euros: this is the amount Napoli will have to put on the table to take Florentino Luís from Benfica. According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian champion is expected to make an offer to the Eagles very soon, but the Club of Light will not negotiate at any price.

In recent weeks, several clubs have shown interest in securing the services of Florentino Luís. Marseille even made a loan offer, with a mandatory purchase option, but Benfica did not like the terms and immediately rejected it.

Roma's interest in Florentino Luís is not new. The defensive midfielder has long been followed by the historic Italian club. Given the limited playing time under Bruno Lage's team, the 26-year-old athlete is willing to leave the Club of Light, and the club's management does not intend to complicate the deal.

In the preview of Benfica – Fenerbahçe, in which the Eagles ended up winning 1-0 and securing a place in the Champions League group stage, Bruno Lage clarified the reason for having Florentino Luís train with the secondary team: “Training with the B team, he trains better than doing a pre-game training session.”

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, and after having played 45 matches in 2024/25, Florentino Luís - valued at 22 million euros - has only played six games: three in the Champions League, two in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 134 matches where he was an option for Bruno Lage, the midfielder scored one goal, against Nice.
