Trabzonspor in talks with Benfica for player who cost Eagles €20m | OneFootball

Dodi Lukebakio continues to attract interest in the transfer market and could change clubs again just one year after joining Benfica. The Belgian international winger has now been linked with Trabzonspor, who are looking to strengthen their attack for next season.

According to the Turkish press, coach Fatih Tekke likes the 28-year-old player’s attributes and there have already been exploratory contacts to understand the conditions of a possible deal. At this stage, Lukebakio is with the Eagles squad at the Club World Cup.

In addition to the interest coming from Turkey, Sevilla are also closely monitoring the attacker’s situation. The Spanish club, which sold the footballer last summer for €20 million, are entitled to 15% of the capital gain from any future transfer, which keeps the Andalusians alert to any developments.

The player - who was criticised by Paulo Robles - is protected by a release clause set at €50 million, a figure Benfica could use as a reference point in future negotiations. His future could once again be in the spotlight during this transfer window.

This season, playing for Benfica, Dodi Lukebakio — valued at €15 million — has featured in 23 official matches: 17 in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 1,167 minutes he was on the pitch, the Belgian recorded one goal and three assists.
