Anatoliy Trubin wants Benfica exit this summer, decision predates Hearts benching | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, 25, wants to leave Benfica this summer, seeking a new challenge. According to Glorioso 1904, his stance is not directly tied to being benched against Hearts.

The desire predates that match and relates in part to how he has felt within the club in recent months. Last season’s frequent jeers from some of the support have reinforced a sense that part of the fanbase no longer wanted him.

Despite considering a move, Trubin has maintained a professional approach day to day. He keeps a low profile and is especially close to compatriot Sudakov, with no issues reported over his training attitude.

Even so, being named among the substitutes against the Scots is said to have surprised him. He believes the best way to attract interest is by playing regularly and performing at a high level.

Before and after that qualifier, his behaviour around the squad was considered correct. He was reserved, but without any act that called his professionalism into question.
