Benfika fell in love with Sudakov after hitting a wall, and the miner asked for 40 million euros

Hupu, August 23, reported that Benfica is considering Ukrainian international Sudakov, according to the front page of the record-breaking news of one of the three major newspapers in Portugal.

The 22-year-old Ukrainian international was highly regarded by management as a potential complement to the No. 10 position, Benfica executives have made the deal a priority after Akturkogru stayed at the team (Fenebache failed to transfer) and Amura's transfer (Wolfsburg would not want to be below €35 million).

Sources revealed that Benfica Club is considering other players, but the interest in Sudakov is tangible.

The Ukrainian club targets 40 million euros, and senior officials led by Rui Costa are trying to use good relations with Donetsk miners to reduce this goal.

goalkeeper Trubin joined in the summer of 2023, and the directors of the Donetsk miners also publicly praised Benfica's decision to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. In addition, competition for this player is very fierce, with Naples and Inter Milan being the best among many interested parties.

After trying to sign Joao Felix and Thiago Almada, Benfica is now aiming at Sudakov again, and Sudakov's franchise will require a considerable amount of capital investment.

Another factor that could hinder his transfer overseas was that the player lost his father this month, which may make him more inclined to stay with his immediate family.
