Benfica blundered, rejected Leeds bid expecting Juventus deal | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, the Ukrainian international goalkeeper for Benfica, has lost his starting place in the Eagles’ team, and Ukraine remains in shock and debating the situation of one of its most important players, alongside Georgiy Sudakov.

Journalist Mykhailo Spivakovskyi, on an edition of the football show 'TaToTake', revealed that Trubin’s loss of his starting spot was due to a series of strategic mistakes in the player’s career, before and after arriving in Portugal.

But the most explosive revelation was not that: The journalist explained that the goalkeeper had options this summer to continue his career in the Premier League, particularly at Leeds, which formally showed interest, but Benfica rejected offers, counting on a transfer to Juventus, as it believed it could bring in between €30 million and €40 million from the player’s sale.

Another factor revealed concerns Trubin’s contractual situation, who has reportedly already received an offer to renew with Benfica, but for lower figures than he currently earns. Benfica looked for a solution for the player, but did not receive any offers, a scenario that reportedly contributed to the change in strategy.

. Benfica are now trying to reduce the wage bill through a sale or a salary cut, which is unlikely to be accepted (well).
