De Zerbi wants Spurs reinforcements, eyes unhappy Benfica man | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin has been linked, in Ukraine, with possible interest from Tottenham. The English club is looking to strengthen its goalkeeping department after allowing Guglielmo Vicario to join Juventus, which closed one door for the Benfica goalkeeper, and the Ukraine international has now emerged as one of the names linked with the London club.

Trubin was Benfica’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper over the last three seasons, but the situation has changed. The goalkeeper recently lost his starting spot to Samuel Soares and has been tipped for a possible departure from the Estádio da Luz in this summer transfer window. The Ukraine international had already been on Juventus’ radar, but the Italian club ultimately did not move forward with the signing.

Now, the possibility of moving to the Premier League is gaining strength again, precisely to a destination that has always appealed to the keeper. Moreover, this is not the first time Trubin’s name has been linked with English football. Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk for €10 million, Trubin arrived at Benfica as a long-term investment for the club’s goalkeeping future.

For quite some time, the SAD would only consider negotiating the Ukrainian’s transfer for amounts above €30 million. However, the context has changed and Benfica’s officials are now willing to consider offers they deem financially attractive.

Recently asked about the goalkeeper’s future, Marco Silva played down the possibility of a departure and assured that he does not sense any discomfort from Trubin after losing his starting place. The Eagles’ coach is therefore maintaining a calm stance regarding the situation involving the Ukraine international.
