Benfica open to a Trubin move if the right price comes along

Benfica Blog
The future of Anatoliy Trubin is being described as uncertain and it is reported that Benfica are open to moving on from player if a favorable financial offer is made to the club. Shakhtar retains a 40 percent sell on clause on Trubin, so they have a vested interest in the 24 year old keeper who cost Benfica 10 million euros back in the summer of 2023.

The shot-stopper quickly became the club's first-choice keeper, impressing with his commanding presence, shot-stopping and occasional goal-scoring heroics, including a memorable late strike against Real Madrid in this past seasons Champions League.

Across all competitions, Trubin has made 149 appearances for Benfica. His consistent performances have drawn Premier League attention, with Benfica potentially open to offers of around €40 million. A departure would mark the end of a successful but relatively short chapter for the talented Ukrainian international.

Benfica have Portugal U21 international keeper Samuel Soares on deck and the hope is that the club will give the youngster an opportunity to take hold of the starting keeper position but would be wise to sign a veteran back stopper who does not mind playing a supporting role to Soares.
