Benfica are prepared to take Lucas Paqueta in an exchange with Florentino Luis, claim reports, but only with an additional €15m cash sum.

Paqueta is not part of the Rossoneri’s plans and has disappointed since his €38m move from Flamengo in January 2019.

Fiorentina have also shown interest, but would want the Brazilian on a two-season loan rather than an outright purchase.

According to Calciomercato.com, Benfica are eager to snap up the 22-year-old in an exchange deal with long-term Milan target Florentino.

According to Calciomercato.com, Benfica are eager to snap up the 22-year-old in an exchange deal with long-term Milan target Florentino.

However, Benfica consider Florentino to be worth €45m and Paqueta €30m, so are also demanding an extra €15m cash in this swap to make up the difference.

Florentino is a 20-year-old midfielder who has made 15 competitive appearances for the Portuguese club this season, but fell out of favour in recent months.
