Trubin posts cryptic message after losing Benfica No 1 spot | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin has lost Benfica’s No 1 role to Samuel Soares and shared a reflective message about his situation. According to Glorioso 1904, the Ukrainian international is unhappy with being a substitute.

In it, the 25-year-old said he keeps setting new goals but that they mean little if he stops being himself. He stressed that development must be both as a footballer and as a dependable person, and that strength is shown through actions rather than words.

The post follows other cryptic messages in recent weeks that have been read as signs of discomfort with his current role. Asked about the situation, Marco Silva has not identified any sign of dissatisfaction in daily work and maintains confidence in the dressing room mood.

His future remains open. At this stage of the window he is awaiting proposals that could suit both him and Benfica.

Trubin joined from Shakhtar Donetsk in summer 2023 for 10 million euros. His deal runs to 2028 and includes a 100 million euro release clause.

The uncertainty could shape Benfica’s thinking over his next steps.
