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

Florentino Luís refused to leave Benfica and move to Saudi Arabia, where he received a truly lucrative offer. According to information reported by Mais Futebol, a club from the league where Cristiano Ronaldo plays – though not specified which one – put 5 million euros annually on the table for the midfielder.

However, Florentino Luís is likely to leave Benfica by the end of the transfer window. Besides Marseille, which saw their initial offer for the 26-year-old player recently rejected by the club, there are several other clubs interested in securing the midfielder's services.

According to recent reports, Roma – facing competition from Premier League clubs – remains in the race for Florentino Luís. The historic Italian club, which was champion in the 2000/01 season, may indeed soon present an offer to the Club of Light.

It appears that Benfica is open to negotiating Florentino Luís, but only for the right price. The Eagles aim 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 financial return in the future.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, after having played 45 matches in 2024/25, Florentino Luís - valued at 22 million euros - has only 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.
