Bruno Lage’s new target could cost Benfica over €30 million | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov could end up costing Benfica more than 30 million euros. According to the newspaper A Bola, these are the demands of Shakhtar Donetsk, but the Club da Luz will not be willing to reach these values at this stage, believing that it will be possible to convince the Ukrainians to lower their demands.

However, according to the same source, given these values, it is unlikely that Georgiy Sudakov - who has already spoken after the interest of the eagles - will be a reinforcement for the Club da Luz. The Benfica leaders, with Rui Costa at the helm, will not be willing to commit this 'madness' for the Shakhtar Donetsk player, considering the amounts demanded to be too high.

One of the factors that could change the fate of this deal is Benfica's potential entry into the Champions League. This is because, with the Champions League millions, Bruno Lage's team may be willing to raise the stakes for Georgiy Sudakov, although the 30 million euros will always be a too high value.

Rui Costa, along with the rest of Benfica's football structure, is studying a proposal for Georgiy Sudakov similar to the one the Reds made for Trubin, i.e., leaving a significant part of the economic rights of the Ukrainian international in the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk.

This season, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has so far played nine matches: five in the Europa League qualifying phase, three in the National Championship, and one in the Conference League preliminary rounds. In the 643 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder made two assists.
