Benfica is considering moving forward with the renewal of Anatoliy Trubin's contract. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper confirms that the plan of the red and white structure, led by Rui Costa, is to extend the contract that ties the Ukrainian to the Clube da Luz.

Glorioso 1904 further reports, exclusively, that the number 1 has been putting in strong performances in Benfica's recent matches, which has increased his market value and, at the same time, attracted the attention of several European giants. With this in mind, the SAD intends to secure the goalkeeper to avoid any uncomfortable situations.

Following this line of thought, our newspaper states that Rui Costa's plan, together with the football structure and José Mourinho, is to renew Trubin's contract, possibly until 2030. It should be remembered that the player's current contract runs until the summer of 2028.

By extending the contract until 2030, Benfica would prevent Trubin's situation from becoming more appealing to the giants of European football, recalling that Manchester City considered signing the Ukrainian during the summer. On the other hand, our newspaper reports that the release clause should remain at 100 million euros and there is a strong possibility of a salary review, at a time when the number 1 is one of the highest paid in the squad.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Anatoliy Trubin — valued at 28 million euroshas started between the posts in 30 official matches: 16 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and one in the Super Cup. He has conceded 22 goals in the 2,655 minutes he has played.
