Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Marco Silva wants January signing | OneFootball

Benfica may move forward with signing a goalkeeper in January 2027, Glorioso 1904 has learned. Our outlet reveals, exclusively, that Marco Silva has not ruled out strengthening the Eagles’ goalkeeping department as early as next January’s transfer window.

Despite having Anatoliy Trubin — who could win back the starting spot — and Samuel Soares in the squad, recent performances have not convinced either the coach or the fans. The goalkeeping position has been seen as one of the team’s least stable areas at this stage. According to information gathered by Glorioso 1904, the pair’s future depends on their performances until December. If neither Trubin nor Samuel Soares can establish themselves as a reliable solution, the file will be reopened.

The standards for the starting role are currently very high at the Club. In this scenario, Marco Silva has already outlined his plan of action to the board. If neither goalkeeper convinces, the coach will ask Rui Costa for immediate action in the market. The aim is to bring in a name capable of taking over as first choice without any adaptation period.

The desired profile has already been defined by the club’s structure and is very specific. The SAD is looking for an experienced goalkeeper, used to the biggest stages and able to deliver immediately. Someone who arrives at the Luz to be the undisputed starter from day one.

. However, the winter market is seen as a real alternative if the level does not improve. The final decision will be in the hands of Marco Silva and Rui Costa in the coming period.
