Now, Record – also via Sport Witness – claims the Reds have the player ‘under their eye’, with him ‘referenced’ by Jurgen Klopp’s side.
This report also claims ‘exploratory contacts’ have already been made by Liverpool to ‘know what’s the current situation’ of the player.
Liverpool are apparently ‘studying a possible attack’ for him, although it doesn’t look as though they’ve made an offer just yet.

In 2020, FootballBH wrote: ‘A natural holding midfielder with an appetite for breaking up play, Florentino has similar attributes to Claude Makelele but with a taller and longer physique.
‘On top of his defensive prowess, Florentino is a composed passer with an excellent understanding of how to link attack and defence.’
Fans on Twitter have also compared Luis to Fernandinho and Moussa Dembele.
