Fabrizio Romano: Bombshell on Florentino Luís leaving Benfica | OneFootball

As we enter the final week of the summer transfer window, Benfica has attracted another interested party in the signing of Florentino. According to Fabrizio Romano, Marseille is considering reaching an agreement to secure the arrival of the Portuguese midfielder.

Through his official account on the social network X, formerly Twitter, the transfer specialist assures that the French club is preparing an approach to the Club of Light, in order to secure a loan until the end of the season, with Francesco De Zerbi's team having the right to a mandatory purchase option.

In the same post, the Italian journalist reveals that the interest in the number 61 has grown after the Ligue 1 team failed to reach any agreement with Real Madrid for the signing of Dani Ceballos, a player who is not in Xabi Alonso's plans.

Marseille's approach, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano, comes at a time when Benfica is considering lowering the price it is demanding for Florentino Luís. According to reports, the Eagles are willing to listen to proposals around 20 million euros, a value well below the initially established 35 million euros.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, 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 Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 134 matches where he was an option for Bruno Lage, the midfielder scored one goal, against Nice.
