Benfica handed boost over target, Rui Costa already rubbing his hands | OneFootball

The transfer market is about to end and Georgiy Sudakov's situation is leaving Benfica increasingly optimistic about a possible transfer to the Estádio da Luz. According to what the press has found out, the compatriot of Anatoliy Trubin is unhappy and impatient, having already informed Shakhtar Donetsk about his state of mind.

Record newspaper writes, during the day of August 25, that the athlete has been feeling down due to the whole 'novel' that has been forming around him due to the transfer market. The target of Benfica - who may have to pay more than 30 million euros - does not feel good about the fact that the Ukrainians are 'scaring off' potential interested parties.

However, possibly due to some pressure from the player, Shakhtar Donetsk started by asking for around 50 million euros, but as of today, according to what the press has found out, the Ukrainians have lowered their demands to 40M€, an amount that is still quite high for many of the emblems interested in Sudakov, including Benfica.

Despite the high financial demands from the eastern Ukrainian emblem, the red and white structure, with Rui Costa at the helm, believes that it can close the deal after Benfica secures its entry into the Champions League, which will mean a 'injection' of millions into the eagles' coffers.

In the current season, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 32 million euros - has played, so far, nine matches: five in the Europa League qualification phase, three in the National Championship, and one in the Conference League qualifiers. In the 643 minutes he was on the field, the midfielder made two assists.
