Breaking news! Georgiy Sudakov joins Benfica in big-money deal | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov will be a Benfica signing until the end of the transfer window. This information is being reported by the newspaper Mais Futebol, which notes an agreement between the Clube da Luz and Shakhtar Donetsk, in a deal that will never cost less than 25 million for the Eagles’ coffers. This may not be the only deal to be finalized soon.

“The agreement with the Ukrainians, which ranges between 25 and 27 million euros, was already well advanced since the beginning of the week and sped up for good with Benfica’s confirmation in the Champions League group stage,” reveals Mais Futebol in its online edition this Thursday, August 28.

The same source adds that Georgiy Sudakov, who is one of the greatest young talents in European football, will arrive in Lisbon next Friday to undergo the usual medical examinations. Unless there is an unforeseen event at the last minute, the official announcement as a Benfica signing could happen as soon as next weekend.

If confirmed, Georgiy Sudakov will immediately become one of the most expensive signings in Benfica’s history. It remains to be seen whether the attacking midfielder will cost more or less than Richard Ríos (27M). However, according to figures provided by Transfermarkt, which already include objectives and future sale clauses, the Ukrainian international will be behind names such as 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 qualifying phase, three in the National Championship, and one in the Conference League preliminary rounds. In the 643 minutes he spent on the pitch, the midfielder provided two assists.
