Benfica roll up their sleeves and join the race for Georgiy Sudakov | OneFootball

Benfica is determined to go all the way to secure the signing of Georgiy Sudakov. It has been reported that despite the requested amount - 30 million euros - the club is keen on the creative midfielder and wants to reach an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk before the transfer window closes.

The confirmation comes from Rudy Galetti, through his official account on the social network X, formerly Twitter. According to the same source, the club's management, led by Rui Costa, has shown the greatest interest in the Ukrainian international so far and is not intimidated by the demands made by Sudakov's team.

Galetti goes further and assures that Shakhtar Donetsk continues to show a certain stubbornness in wanting to lower the asking price for the player - which would be considered the biggest investment in the history of the red and white club - however, the Eagles persist in negotiations to create a connection that could facilitate the transfer.

On the other hand, Benfica intends to take advantage of the fact that the player wants to leave, as he feels unhappy with how Shakhtar has handled the offers they have received. Additionally, the compatriot of Trubin and former teammate of David Neres is inclined to move to the Club of Light, as he would have the opportunity to play in the Champions League.

This season, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has played nine matches so far: five in the Europa League qualifying phase, three in the National Championship, and one in the Conference League qualifiers. In the 643 minutes he has been on the pitch, the midfielder has made two assists.
