How about this? Pedro Sousa shares updates on Benfica star’s future | OneFootball

Keeping an eye on the transfer market, Pedro Sousa updates on the situation of Benfica's player

Shortly after Fabrizio Romano revealed that Benfica had received a proposal from Marseille for the signing of Florentino, a U-turn emerged in the negotiations for the player. According to what has been found out, the Reds have rejected the proposal from the French club.

The rumor was advanced on August 26 in the program Marcado Now, where journalist Pedro Sousa, one of the panel commentators, stated that the Reds were not interested in the proposal made by Marseille, as it was a loan.

Moreover, the same source also guaranteed that the French were not the only ones to sound out Benfica regarding Florentino's services. According to Pedro Sousa, without revealing the name, he assumed that the Eagles received a proposal from a Championship club, as well as from a team from Saudi Arabia, in this case Al Quadisiya.

Pedro Sousa guarantees that Benfica rejected Marseille's loan proposal due to Florentino's poor record in other experiences where he was loaned out by the Eagles, namely to Monaco and later Getafe, where he showed difficulties in adapting and few minutes of play.

In the current season, with Benfica's jersey, 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 he was an option for Bruno Lage, the midfielder scored one goal, against Nice.
