Rolling up its sleeves to establish a strong midfield in the new season, Beşiktaş turned its route to a reference name. Dissatisfied with Ndidi’s inconsistent performance in the front libero, the black-whites put Florentino Luis, who plays for Burnley, on loan from Portuguese giant Benfica, on their agenda and said goodbye to the English Premier League. While it was stated that Luis was a close friend of Beşiktaş’s star maestro Orkun Kökçü from Benfica, it was learned that the management had prepared an offer of 15 million Euros for the 26-year-old Portuguese dynamo. Official negotiations are expected to begin after the season is completed.
The experienced forward, who entered the last year of his contract, could not win the favor of coach Jose Mourinho at the beginning of the season and was loaned to the English team Burnley. Luis, whose market value is shown as 20 million euros, played in 30 matches for Burnley and contributed 2 assists. He played in 7 matches for Benfica and scored 1 goal. He appeared in all lower age categories except Portugal’s National Team.
