Barcelona Sets Sights on Defensive Midfielder for Summer Transfer, Eyeing €40m Valuation
Barcelona is currently in search of a more permanent successor to Sergio Busquets, and Florentino Luis from Benfica has emerged as a potential candidate, Despite being considered last summer, Deco still maintains interest in the midfielder, According to Sport, Barcelona’s scouting department was impressed by Luis’ ball recovery numbers and the simplicity of his game, Although he initially faced some inconsistency in his playing time, Roger Schmidt has recently given him a more permanent spot in the starting XI.
Barcelona believes that they could negotiate Luis’ price down to €40m, although his release clause stands at €120m, However, this remains a difficult possibility unless the club manages to generate significant transfer fees, Recently, there have been reports linking Luis to Liverpool as a potential replacement for Fabinho, indicating that his price may be optimistic, This news may come as a surprise to La Liga fans, as just two seasons ago, Luis played for Getafe on loan and was not a regular starter, While he possesses a tenacious attitude towards ball recovery, questions arise regarding his ability to act as the primary receiver from the defense under a high press for Barcelona.
