30 million euros for 80% of the athlete's economic rights. This is the proposal presented by Benfica for Georgiy Sudakov, a 22-year-old Ukrainian international from Shakhtar Donetsk. The news is being reported by Luís Aguilar, a journalist from SIC Notícias, without revealing whether it has been accepted.
Georgiy Sudakov is one of the main promises of Ukrainian football and belongs to the ranks of Shakhtar Donetsk. The club does not intend to sell the player, however, the failure to qualify for the Europa League may force a sale, with the young midfielder being highly sought after across Europe, with the greatest interest coming from Benfica.
The player has already communicated to Shakhtar's management his desire to leave Ukraine to advance his career. Sudakov has already informed his representatives that he wants to move to Luz, however, if the transfer goes through at the mentioned figures, it would be the largest purchase in Benfica's history, surpassing the 27 million euros paid for Richard Ríos.
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 preliminaries. In the 643 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder made two assists.
