Twist! Benfica want to extend Trubin deal | OneFootball

Benfica is preparing to move forward with contract renewals for Anatoliy Trubin and Samuel Soares, in a decision that represents a change of plans regarding the Ukrainian goalkeeper. The club’s intention is to extend the ties of both players.

Benficalooked for a solution for the player but did not receive any offers, a scenario that appears to have contributed to the change in strategy. The information was reported by SIC.

Trubin was the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for Benfica over the last three seasons, but the situation changed with the arrival of Marco Silva. The Portuguese coach has been backing Samuel Soares, who recently took over as first choice, pushing the Ukrainian into a secondary position in the pecking order.

Despite losing prominence, Benfica now wants to keep Trubinand prepare a contract renewal. The goalkeeper is under contract with the Eagles until 2028 and is protected by a €100 million release clause.

The Benfica hierarchy also intends to extend Samuel Soares’ contract, in a show of confidence in the young goalkeeper. Both players currently have two more seasons left on their Benfica deals, until 2028, and could receive offers to extend their respective contracts.
