Rui Costa ready to sell Benfica star, but only for the right price | OneFootball

Florentino Luís' life at Benfica is getting increasingly complicated. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our Journal reveals that his departure is indeed the most likely scenario, at a time when Manu Silva is accelerating his recovery and, when that happens, the midfielder will have even less space in Bruno Lage's squad.

Florentino has been losing space and influence in Bruno Lage's team. The player, who is one of the only pure '6' in Benfica's squad, was a regular starter in the last campaign of the eagles, in 2024/25, but saw that situation change radically in the current season.

Benfica decided to operate a revolution in the midfield during the summer break, by selling Kokcu to Besiktas, and signing Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea, who directly entered the starting lineup designed by Bruno Lage for most of the games so far.

These changes have thrown Florentino to the bench, and made the defensive midfielder lose influence in the team. But there's another factor to add: Benfica signed Manu Silva from Guimarães in January of last year, but the player ended up getting seriously injured and was not available to help the team until the end of the season.

Now, getting closer to being recovered, Manu Silva may be the one to push Florentino out of Benfica. The eagles' defensive midfielder will lose even more space, and, as we advance in this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, a proposal in the order of 30 million euros may be enough for him to leave the Luz until the transfer market closes.
