AliousReports from Portuguese publication O Jogo suggest that Benfica’s Florentino Luis is considering a potential transfer to Everton this summer.
While no formal negotiations have begun, the defensive midfielder could potentially end up at Goodison Park. However, Everton may face competition from other interested clubs, including Fulham and Leicester.
Florentino Luis could be a valuable addition to Everton’s squad, even with James Garner and Amadou Onana already in similar positions.
His arrival would be particularly beneficial if Onana, who has been linked with a move away, departs the club. Should Onana stay, Luis’s presence would create healthy competition for midfield spots and enhance the team’s depth.
Everton’s current starting lineup is relatively strong, but the team lacks depth when key players are unavailable due to injuries or suspensions.
Luis, at a young age, would fit well with Everton’s emerging core of midfielders and has potential for further development, similar to Onana’s progression at the club.
The Portuguese midfielder has been a standout performer for Benfica, featuring in 45 matches across all competitions last season. With Benfica reportedly willing to sell for around £34 million (as per Correio de Manha), Luis could prove to be a worthwhile investment for the Toffees.
