Georgiy Sudakov set to leave Benfica; find out why | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov’s future at Benfica remains uncertain, with the Ukrainian midfielder emerging as one of the players who could leave in the next transfer window and beyond. Benfica’s SAD is open to negotiating the sale of the number 10, especially in light of several factors that carry weight in the club’s internal assessment.

From a financial point of view, this is a significant investment, so the club is not ruling out a sale if an attractive offer comes in. The idea is to recover at least the amount spent on signing the player, especially if he fails to establish himself consistently.

From a sporting perspective as well, the player has not fully convinced the coaching staff and is seen as expendable. José Mourinho is not entirely satisfied with the midfielder’s characteristics, something that is reflected in how he has been used.

On the other hand, the player himself has also been struggling to adapt, both to the competitive environment and on a personal level. The move to a new league and the situation in Ukraine have had an impact on his performances, leaving the midfielder below the expectations that existed when he arrived at the Luz.

This season, playing for Benfica, Georgiy Sudakov — valued at €28 million — has already made 36 appearances: 22 in Liga Portugal Betclic, nine in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup and two in the League Cup.
