Barcelona and Fulham might submit offers to sign 24-year-old Portuguese midfielder Florentino Luis from Benfica in 2024.
According to a report by O Jogo, as relayed by Sport Witness, Fulham and Barcelona are interested in Florentino Luis. The Portuguese midfielder has a release clause worth €120 million in his Benfica contract. Meanwhile, he is also a target for Bayern Munich and Nottingham Forest.
Florentino Luis is a native of Lobito in Angola but spent his formative years in Portugal. The 24-year-old is a graduate of Benfica’s fabled youth division and has turned out for AS Monaco and Getafe on loan. But after a slow start to life as a Benfica player, he has become a regular for the Portuguese giants.
The Portuguese midfielder has made four appearances this season while turning out 90 times thus far for Benfica. A holding midfielder by trade, Luis is an adept reader of the game and is a no-nonsense tackler. Meanwhile, the player’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of high-profile clubs like Barcelona.
The Benfica midfielder was the subject of interest from several high-profile clubs in the summer transfer window. Clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Barcelona showed interest in him. And the Catalan giants remain keen on signing Luis. In addition, he is a target for Fulham and a few other clubs.
The Cottagers are in a spot of bother over Joao Palhinha’s long-term future. The Portuguese international nearly joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window before a deadline-day move collapsed. The Bundesliga champions remain interested in Palhinha, with Barcelona also interested in the Fulham midfielder. So, Luis is a viable target for Fulham.
As for Barcelona, Oriol Romeu is on the wrong side of 30 and will only be a short-term solution for them. So, the Blaugrana should scour the market for a younger midfielder who can replace Romeu in a few years. Florentino Luis is thus an option worth considering for Barcelona.

The report claims that Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Fulham, and Nottingham Forest might submit “irrefutable” offers to sign Luis. But he has a release clause worth €120 million in his Benfica contract. So, the bids will have to be in the high eight figures to convince Benfica to part ways with him.
