Hull interested in Burnley's Luis
- Published
Hull City are interested in Burnley's Portuguese midfielder Florentino Luis.
Despite the £20m Burnley just paid, a source close to the Lancashire club tells me they may be willing to sell for £15m plus add-ons to get a sizeable wage off the books.
Luis has only just joined the Clarets permanently from Benfica due to an obligation to buy following his loan at Turf Moor last season.
I understand there's interest - on a loan basis - from at least one other Premier League side.
Despite Burnley being open to a permanent deal and possibly at a reduced fee, it is also understood Hull are exploring the option of it being a loan initially instead.
Given likely loan fees and wages wouldn't be cheap, it seems an interesting choice if so.
Now we also know who the Portugal flag indicated on Acun Ilicali's list on social media.
