Message for Benfica? Trubin: strength lies in actions, not words | OneFootball

Trubin lost his place as Benfica’s first-choice goalkeeper to Samuel Soares and turned to social media to leave a reflective message about the moment he is going through at the Luz. The 25-year-old Ukrainian international goalkeeper appears not to be hiding the difficult period he is experiencing at the club, after three seasons as the undisputed first choice in goal for the Eagles.

“I am always setting new goals for myself. But none of them make sense if, along the way, we stop being who we are. For me, it is important not only to develop as a footballer, but also to continue being a person others can trust and turn to for support. That is why I believe strength lies in actions, not words,” wrote the goalkeeper.

The post comes after other cryptic messages shared by the player in recent weeks, which have been interpreted as signs of some discomfort regarding the current situation at Benfica. Asked about Trubin’s attitude, however, Marco Silva assured that he had not identified any sign of dissatisfaction in the squad’s day-to-day work. The Portuguese coach thus maintains confidence in the atmosphere inside Benfica’s dressing room.

At the same time, the Ukrainian international’s future remains open. Trubin does not have continuity at the Luz guaranteed and, at this stage of the transfer window, is waiting for offers that could be financially advantageous both for the player and forBenfica.

Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2023 for €10 million, Trubin is under contract with the Eagles until 2028 and is protected by a €100 million release clause. Losing his starting place to Samuel Soares could therefore have an impact not only on the present, but also on Benfica’s decisions regarding the goalkeeper’s future.
