Sudakov's agent addresses worrying rumours over Benfica midfielder | OneFootball

Contrary to what was reported by the Ukrainian press regarding Georgiy Sudakov, Vadim Shablii, his agent, responded to the rumors that the Eagles’ young attacking midfielder is “exhausted and tired of football”.

“Georgiy Sudakov continues to work hard in training and is 100 percent focused on Benfica. Many players go through difficult periods in their careers, but that does not mean he has lost the desire to play football or is tired of it, as some Ukrainian media outlets claim,” the agent said, through the press office of the company ‘ProStar’, to ‘Empower Sports’.

Along the same lines, Vadim Shablii promised that the Reds’ ‘number 10’ will continue to “fight”: “Georgiy is not someone who gives up. He continues to work and fight for his place. He is doing everything he can to once again delight the fans with his performances and goals.”

It should be remembered that Sudakov was signed by Benfica from Shakhtar Donetsk for 27 million euros, plus 5 million in bonuses tied to objectives, last summer. The Ukrainian club will be entitled to receive 25% of the value of a future transfer, although the Reds have the option to reduce that percentage to 15% by paying 6 million.

This season, playing for Benfica, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 28 million euros - has already made 36 appearances: 22 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, nine in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup and two in the League Cup. In the 2,381 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number 10 has recorded four goals and five assists.
