Trubin on the bench, among top earners, Benfica make final call | OneFootball

In addition to Samuel Soares, Andreas Schjelderup and Gianluca Prestianni, Benfica also want to renew the contract of Anatoliy Trubin, the 25-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper, who lost his starting spot to Samu (who is close to extending his contract) this season.

With a contract running until 2028, and one of the highest salaries in the squad, the renewal process for the number ‘1’ shirt is much harder to complete than Samuel Soares’s. Also because he has not been one of Marco Silva’s regular choices.

The undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Eagles over the last three seasons, the situation changed with the arrival of the new coach. The Portuguese manager has been backing Samuel Soares, who recently became the starter, pushing Trubin into a secondary role in the Eagles’ goalkeeper hierarchy.

The situation is not pleasing the Ukraine international, who lost ground precisely at a time when he is trying to establish himself as one of Benfica’s leading figures in goal. Even so, despite the dissatisfaction, the Eagles’ SAD remains confident in the player and is preparing to move forward with renewing the footballer’s contract.

. Shakhtar retained 40% of any future capital gain from the sale of the Ukraine international, which is why Benfica want a high fee for his transfer.
