Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Ederson's return to Benfica looks ever more… | OneFootball

Ederson's return to Benfica is an increasingly unrealistic scenario at this moment, Glorioso 1904 understands. Despite Anatoliy Trubin losing his starting spot and the lack of consensus around Samuel Soares, the Brazilian international, who has been linked with the Club, is not seen as a realistic target by the Eagles' hierarchy.

He has a contract with the Turkish side until 2028 and earns a salary considered prohibitive for Benfica's financial reality.

In addition to the salary issue, there is no room to negotiate a possible departure with the Istanbul side. The Turkish club is not willing to make the deal easier and, given the conditions demanded, the Eagles see no room to move for the player who was one of Benfica fans' biggest wishes for the goalkeeping position.

The situation takes on particular relevance after Trubin lost his starting spot and Samuel Soares failed to gain absolute backing as the solution for Benfica's goal. Even so, the structure led by Rui Costa believes that Edersonis out of the Club's reach at this moment. 

The Brazilian international naturally remains a highly appreciated name at the Luz, especially because of his successful past in service of the Eagles. However, with a contract until 2028, a salary that is too high, and no flexibility from Fenerbahçe to negotiate, the goalkeeper is not a concrete option for Benfica.
