“Benfica available to negotiate the sale of Trubin for 40 million euros.”

Total alarm at Luz: Anatoliy Trubin may be on his way out of Benfica, and the club’s management has already set the asking price to release the Ukrainian goalkeeper. With an ambitious threshold of 40 million euros, the future of the Ukrainian international is uncertain, fueling a wave of speculation around the transfer market and forcing Benfica fans to prepare for a possible upheaval between the posts.

At 24 years old, Trubin, who turns 25 on August 1, has become a key player in the squad led by Roger Schmidt, but his continuation at Luz is far from guaranteed. According to gathered information, Benfica has already communicated its willingness to negotiate the player, although it has yet to receive any formal offers. It is important to highlight that Shakhtar Donetsk, Trubin’s former club, holds a 40% stake in any future profit, which could influence the negotiation process and the financial return for Benfica.

This potential transfer is particularly significant not only because of the direct impact it will have on the Benfica goal, but also due to the movements it could trigger in the national and international market. By admitting to considering parting ways with Trubin, Benfica makes it clear that they are prepared to invest in a new goalkeeper should the sale go through, potentially sparking a genuine rush to the market by the structure led by Rui Costa. Furthermore, the possible departure of the Ukrainian international would be a considerable loss for the Eagles’ defensive sector, forcing the club to adapt quickly in order not to compromise their objectives for the upcoming season.

On the player’s side, the ambition is clear, and he has shown signs of this on several occasions. Trubin has never hidden his desire to play in the English Premier League, which he considers the “dream championship,” and he has hinted at it in more than one recent interview. After the last game of the season, the goalkeeper reinforced this idea: “The Premier League is a dream for any player. If an opportunity arises, of course, I will think about it,” he declared, leaving the door ajar for a move this summer. Trubin also stated, in a conversation with journalists on the sidelines of an official club event: “I feel very good at Benfica, but we all know how football works. I am focused, but I am not closing any doors to the future.” These words, spoken by the player himself, deepen the uncertainty and fuel rumors about his next destination.

The scenario surrounding Trubin’s departure forces Benfica to already outline a plan B. The scouting department of the Eagles is keeping an eye on potential targets for the goal, knowing that the financial threshold imposed could be a bargaining chip, but also a hurdle for any interested parties. Clubs from the Premier League, namely Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford, are cited as possible destinations, although none have yet made a concrete proposal. The expected influx of funds, should the sale be confirmed, will allow Benfica to approach the market with more flexibility, but the urgency to secure a worthy replacement will be immense, given the demands of the fans and the tight schedule ahead.

For now, Trubin’s future is on hold, but the pressure is mounting on the club’s management to resolve the issue quickly and avoid a void in a crucial position. The saga is set to heat up in the coming days, and all eyes are on the Luz: either Trubin stays to lead the defense next season, or the exit door opens for a new chapter in the Eagles’ goal — and, who knows, for the beginning of the Ukrainian goalkeeper’s English dream.
