Sandro Tonali is leaving for Newcastle on a record fee (for Italian players in the market). As for the other starting midfielder for Milan, Ismael Bennacer, he is out due to an injury, and it will take him several months to fully recover. Now, it is high time that the club signed a new player to dominate in that area of the pitch. Gianluca Di Marzio spoke today about AC Milan's interest in Florentino Luis who is plying his trade for Benfica.
There have already been contacts between the player's entourage and the Rossoneri club managers. Evaluations are ongoing for Milan as they analyse the defensive midfielder's profile. The transfer fee, however, is a significant one. In fact, according to the Italian journalist, Benfica are asking for 30 million euros in order to sell their player's card.
Florentino Luis, the AC Milan target, is 23 years old. His contract runs until June 2027. The right-footed talent stands at 184 centimetres tall. He played 54 games in the season that has just concluded, featuring in a total of 3812 minutes, scoring 3 goals in the process.
