Benfica splash out millions on Anatoliy Trubin's compatriot | OneFootball

Benfica has reportedly secured the signing of Georgiy Sudakov for a fee between 25 and 30 million euros. According to information advanced by the newspaper Mais Futebol, the reds have already reached an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk, in a deal that could be one of the most expensive in the eagles' history. This may not be the only deal to be closed soon.

“The agreement with the Ukrainians, which revolves around 25 and 27 million euros, was already well advanced since the beginning of the week and accelerated once and for all with the confirmation of the reds in the group stage of the Champions League”, reveals the newspaper Mais Futebol, in the online edition of this Thursday, August 28.

The same source states that Georgiy Sudakov, who is one of the greatest young values in European football, will arrive in Lisbon next Friday to undergo the usual medical exams. Unless there is a last-minute unforeseen event, the official announcement as a reinforcement of Benfica may happen as early as next weekend.

If confirmed, Georgiy Sudakov will directly enter the most expensive reinforcements in Benfica's history. It remains to be seen whether the offensive midfielder will cost more or less than Richard Ríos (27M). However, and according to values provided by Transfermarkt that already include objectives and future sale clauses, the Ukrainian international will be behind names like Orkun Kokçu (29.7M), Darwin Núñez (34M) and Enzo Fernández (44.25M).

In the current season, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 32 million euros - has, so far, played nine matches: five in the Europa League qualification phase, three in the National Championship and one in the Conference League preliminaries. In the 643 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder made two assists.
