Spalletti goes back in for Benfica player, wants him at Juventus | OneFootball

Benfica could once again undergo major changes to the squad during the transfer window, with the future of one of its most important players in recent seasons no longer a guaranteed scenario. In Italy, Juventus have once again assessed the market and still have one of the Eagles’ options among the possibilities to strengthen the goalkeeping position.

The player in question is Anatoliy Trubin, the 25-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper who has once again made it onto the Old Lady’s shortlist. The Turin club are looking for an alternative for goal following Michele Di Gregorio’s departure and, after the scenario involving Zion Suzuki became more distant, the Italians have gone back to analysing other options.

Juventus had already approached Benfica’s SAD during this summer, but ended up backing away because of the roughly €30 million demanded by the club. In the meantime, Trubin’s situation has also undergone significant changes at the Luz: the Ukrainian international has lost his starting spot to Samuel Soares.

Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk for €10 million, the Ukrainian player is under contract with Benfica until 2028 and is protected by a €100 million release clause. Even so, the proximity of the end of his deal and his current sporting situation could lead Benfica’s SAD to lower its financial demands.

In the 2025/26 season, for Benfica, Anatoliy Trubin — valued at €25 million — made 50 official appearances: 32 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup.
