Benfica have reportedly put Florentino Luis up for sale this summer, with Liverpool recently scouting the midfielder at the end of last season.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Portuguese champions have made the 23-year-old available for €30m (£25m) as interest continues to build for Florentino, who is now wanted by AC Milan as a replacement for Newcastle United-bound Sandro Tonali.

Florentino was a regular for Benfica last season as the Aguias once again claimed the Primeira Liga title, with 90min claiming that Liverpool have scouted the Portuguese youth international regularly as Jurgen Klopp looks to add to his midfield ranks this summer.

Whilst links to Florentino have cooled down on Liverpool’s end, this latest update could be significant in the Reds making their second midfield signing of the summer, with £25m for a top-quality prospect something that could be too good for the Merseyside giants to turn down.

Indeed, Florentino impressed in both the Portuguese top-flight and in the UEFA Champions League last season. And with Benfica now open to selling the midfielder this summer, Liverpool could be wise to reignite their interest in the 23-year-old in the weeks to come.

Liverpool should reconsider Florentino move as price tag is revealed

Florentino was a key clog in Benfica’s title win and incredible form in Europe, and for Liverpool, the 23-year-old could now be an ideal signing with the Portuguese giants demanding as little as £25m for one of their star midfielders.

With Liverpool biding their time over targets such as Khephren Thuram and Gabri Veiga, Florentino could be an easy deal to wrap up with Benfica already naming their terms for the youngster. And for the Reds, the midfielder could be a welcome addition at Anfield.
