An injury to Benfica’s Luisao could reportedly scupper Fiorentina’s bid to sign defender Lisandro Lopez.

Viola Coach Paulo Sousa reportedly requested the Argentine to reinforce his defence in January, with the Portuguese giants seemingly open to a sale.

However, the deal has now hit an obstacle as an injury to centre-back Luisao means that Lopez will be needed in Lisbon.

Portuguese newspaper A Bola writes today that Benfica have blocked the sale of the 26-year-old after this setback.

Lopez has only made six league appearances so far this season, scoring one goal, but is believed to have impressed Coach Rui Vitoria enough to merit a stay.
