Benfica ‘to consider’ loan for Anatoliy Trubin with option to buy | OneFootball

Benfica are considering sending Anatoliy Trubin out on loan, with an option to buy included, as efforts to sell the 25-year-old have stalled, according to Record.

The club aimed to cash in this summer, but no firm offers have arrived, so a loan, viewed as simpler to execute, is gathering momentum.

Any agreement would include a purchase clause, preferably at figures close to the sums Benfica had hoped to bank from permanent deals.

Trubin has lost his place to Samuel Soares this season, and the Ukraine international is ready to seek a new opportunity. The hierarchy do not wish to retain a high-earning back-up.

His contract runs to 2028 and a renewal is not being discussed, making a temporary move a way to unblock the situation.

The case is one of Rui Costa’s pressing concerns in this phase of the window, with the goalkeeper not expected to be a first-choice option if he stays.
