Florentino Luís turned down a move from Benfica to join… Cristiano Ronaldo | OneFootball

Florentino Luís refused to leave Benfica and head to Saudi Arabia, where he received a truly millionaire offer. According to information reported by Mais Futebol, a club from the league where Cristiano Ronaldo plays – though it was not revealed which one – put 5 million euros per year on the table for the midfielder.

However, Florentino Luís is still expected to leave Benfica before the end of the transfer window. In addition to Marseille, whose initial offer for the 26-year-old was recently rejected by the Eagles, there are several other clubs interested in securing the midfielder's services.

According to news that has emerged in recent hours, Roma – which faces competition from Premier League clubs – remains in the race for Florentino Luís. The historic Italian club, which won the league in the 2000/01 season, may even submit an offer to the Estádio da Luz very soon.

Apparently, Benfica is open to negotiating Florentino Luís, but only for the right price. The Eagles are looking to receive between 25 and 30 million euros, as he is a midfielder of great quality and still relatively young, which could allow for a future financial return.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, and after playing 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 in which he was selected by Bruno Lage, the midfielder scored one goal, against Nice.
