Deal Close: Everton offer whooping sum for players, Club rejects offer, wanting a higher bid to secure European football next season

Everton’s Offer for Florentino Luís May Be Too Low, Benfica Holding Out for Higher Bid

According to Portuguese newspaper CNN Mais Futebol, Everton’s potential offer for Benfica midfielder Florentino Luís may not be enough to secure his signing. The Toffees are reportedly willing to offer between €10-15 million, which is deemed too low by Benfica.

Pundit Diogo Luís believes that Florentino should stay at Benfica for another year, citing the club’s undervalued squad and the need for higher offers. He also claims that the player himself is committed to Benfica and not seeking a move.

While the €10-15 million offer may not be enough, it could be seen as a starting point for negotiations. Everton may need to increase their bid to convince Benfica to sell.

This development comes after reports that Everton are unlikely to repeat their previous €30 million offer for the midfielder. The situation highlights the complexity of transfer negotiations and the need for clubs to find common ground.
