Benfica goal sparks debate: Trubin out, Ederson in | OneFootball

The transfer market could bring major changes to Benfica’s goalkeeping position. Anatoliy Trubin has lost ground and interest from several European clubs is growing, leading the Eagles’ board to prepare different scenarios for the future. Ederson is a possible target, according to Tiago Guadalupe.

"Benfica has, in my view, a plan for the goalkeeping position: find a solution for Anatoliy Trubin and create the conditions for Ederson’s return to the Luz. Trubin out, Ederson in. The equation is simple to write, but much harder to carry out. Between the need to find a destination for the Ukraine international and the huge wage commitment that bringing back the Brazilian goalkeeper would entail, the final days of the transfer window promise to turn Benfica’s goalkeeping situation into one of the most interesting dossiers until August 31," his opinion piece in newspaper 'A Bola' reads.

The writer explains the choice of the Brazilian goalkeeper. "Some returns make sense because of the player’s quality. Others make sense because of the story. This one has both. Ederson knows Benfica, knows the Luz, is loved by the fans, and knows what it means to play under the pressure of having to win", he said.

However, according to Glorioso 1904, the 33-year-old player’s return to Benfica is an increasingly unrealistic scenario at this moment. Ederson is under contract with the Turkish club until 2028 and earns a salary considered prohibitive for the Eagles’ financial reality.

Besides the salary issue, there is no room to negotiate a possible departure with the Istanbul club. The Turkish side is not willing to make the deal easier and, given the conditions being demanded, Benfica sees no room to move for the man who has been one of the biggest wishes of Benfica fans for the goalkeeping position.
