Benfica Transfer Market: Trubin Linked with Tottenham

Benfica's goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, is reportedly on Tottenham's radar, with the North London club potentially making a move for the Ukrainian international in the upcoming transfer window. According to English press, the interest from the Spurs hinges on the possible departure of Guglielmo Vicario. The 29-year-old Italian shot-stopper, who lost his starting spot in the latter half of the season, is a target for Inter Milan and could leave the London club this summer, creating an opening for a new first-choice goalkeeper.

In this context, the 24-year-old Trubin has been identified as a potential alternative, fitting Tottenham's preference for young players with significant room for development. However, the goalkeeper has previously stated his desire to remain at Benfica, though he hasn't guaranteed his long-term stay to the fans. A move to England remains a career ambition, a prospect that was also on the table at the end of the 2023/24 season, Trubin's debut year with Benfica.

It's worth noting that Tottenham confirmed their Premier League status this past Sunday.

Trubin joined Benfica in 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of €10 million, plus an additional €1 million in performance-related add-ons. The player is under contract until 2028 and is protected by a €100 million release clause. Samuel Soares, a 23-year-old academy product, serves as the backup goalkeeper for the Eagles.
