Trubin, Araújo, Silva and Sudakov uncertain; latest on Benfica stars | OneFootball

Rui Costa assured, at the press conference held last Thursday, that not all Benfica players are available to leave in this summer transfer window. The Benfica president was keen to dismiss the idea of a squad fire sale, although he acknowledged that missing out on the Champions League will force the club to generate some income.

The Eagles' leader made it clear that he wants to keep the team’s most important players, but admitted that the market could influence some decisions in the coming weeks. Between possible departures, pending renewals and players waiting for a new opportunity under Marco Silva, it promises to be a busy summer at the Luz.

In goal, Anatoliy Trubin continues to attract interest from several European leagues. The Ukraine international is eager to compete in one of the continent’s top leagues, but Benfica do not intend to make any potential transfer easy, setting a minimum price of around €20 million.

In defence, António Silva remains one of the club’s priorities. The centre-back is under contract until June 2027 and has already received a renewal offer. Talks have progressed positively in recent contacts, although no agreement has yet been reached. Andreas Schjelderup, meanwhile, remains in a delicate situation. Rui Costa confirmed that he presented a renewal offer to the Norwegian winger, but the player is still assessing the situation.

Tomás Araújo, meanwhile, continues to be linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs. In recent weeks, the international press has highlighted Bayern Munich’s interest, with the German club closely monitoring the Portuguese international’s development.
