CM: Milan have agreement over €40m midfielder and are on pole ahead of Man Utd, Real Betis

AC Milan are in pole position to land Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis despite reports of interest from a number of other top clubs.

It is seemingly no mystery that the Rossoneri are in the market for a long-term partner to Ismael Bennacer, and Florentino Luis has been persistently linked with a move to the San Siro since the winter transfer window.

It was reported earlier on Friday by La Gazzetta dello Sport that Milan are in talks over a deal for the 20-year-old, who has a €120m release clause but could be available for €40m.

However, a report from ESPN claimed that Manchester United, Leeds United, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis are all also keen, while his agent confirmed many clubs want his client.

According to the latest from Calciomercato.com, there have been new contacts between Milan and Benfica and there is a general agreement on the formula – a two-year loan with an obligation to buy based on achieving certain objectives.

However, there is not yet an agreement on the figures as the Lusitanians value the Portugal U21 international at €40million.

Milan are in pole position and want to formalise everything at the end of the season, but Real Betis are not giving up and are pressing hard, while Leverkusen have also enquired.

There is no shortage of offers, and Benfica want to get as much as possible from his sale.

Black Adam Can Be The DCEU’s Wolverine

The upcoming Black Adam movie could position its title character as DC's equivalent to Wolverine. Though Black Adam has taken quite a long time to get rolling, the first day of DC FanDome gave a peak at what audiences can expect, from name-dropping several Justice Society of America members who make appearances to Dwayne Johnson stressing the harsh origins of the title character. Johnson's description of Black Adam himself also may offer a sense of just what role he'll occupy in the world of the DCEU. Johnson would place particular emphasis on Black Adam having been a slave who achieves his freedom after being granted power from the gods and who now seeks to unleash his own brand of justice on the world. Aside from the moral ambiguity of Black Adam, Johnson has also repeatedly spoken of him as a game-changing figure in the DCEU with the power level that he operates at. Meanwhile, with the way Black Adam is being presented as a character, he could carry some notable parallel...

The Earth is making the moon rust

(CNN)The moon is getting rusty. Scientists had the same reaction you probably did when they reached this conclusion. It shouldn't be possible -- after all, there's no oxygen on the moon, one of the two essential elements to create rust, the other being water. But the evidence was there. India's lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1, orbited the moon in 2008, gathering data that has led to numerous discoveries over the years -- including the revelation that there are water molecules on its surface. The probe also carried an instrument built by NASA that could analyze the moon's mineral composition. When researchers at NASA and the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology analyzed the data recently, they were stunned to find hints of hematite, a form of iron oxide known as rust. There are plenty of iron-rich rocks on the moon -- but rust is only produced when iron is exposed to oxygenand water. At first, I totally didn't believe it. It shouldn't exist based on the...

Who will be the next James Bond? Eight candidates for 007 after No Time to Die

Helen Barlow considers the chances of the actors mentioned as potential successors to Daniel Craig, considered the best incarnation of 007 since Sean Connery James Norton, who tells her he likes to explore ‘the inner conflict’ of his characters, and Outlander’s Sam Heughan, a Scot, are the current favourites The announcement of which actor will next play James Bond is still some way off, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation about who it will be. Daniel Craig leaves big shoes to fill after his fifth and final turn as the British special agent in No Time to Die. Whether the lucky actor will be well known or a surprise pick, as Craig was, remains to be seen. Age is another factor, given that actors can spend a decade playing 007. As we wait for news, it is interesting to cast our minds back to a time when the film series was in the doldrums – before Pierce Brosnan came along it had been failing, propelled downwards by Timothy Dalton’s License to Kill (1989), the least successful o...
