Benfica's goalkeeping sparks debate: Trubin out, Ederson in | OneFootball

The transfer market could bring significant changes to Benfica’s goalkeeping position. Anatoliy Trubin has lost ground and interest from several European clubs is growing, leading Benfica’s SAD to prepare different scenarios for the future. Ederson is a possible target, according toTiago 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 put into practice. Between the need to find a destination for the Ukrainian international and the huge wage effort that bringing back the Brazilian goalkeeper would entail, the final days of the market promise to turn Benfica’s goalkeeping situation into one of the most interesting dossiers until August 31," one can read in his opinion piece in the newspaper 'A Bola'.

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 opined.

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