Benfica may have to pay €40m for Amoura alternative

Georgiy Sudakov is Benfica's alternative, after the deal for Mohamed Amoura fell through. The Ukrainian attacking midfielder has become one of the eagles' top targets in this transfer window, and is seen as the ideal solution to fill the lack of a creative player in Bruno Lage's squad. Remember that the star recently suffered a tough defeat.

According to the newspaper Record, Benfica's interest is real. After the deal that would take Akturkoglu to Fenerbahçe fell through, the Turk's stay is the most likely scenario for the eagles' team. On the other hand, this end in talks with the Turkish club also helped to close the Amoura file, especially since Wolfsburg would not drop below 35 million euros, a value that the reds were not willing to pay.

Therefore, the issue of the creative player in Bruno Lage's squad remains unresolved, and Sudakov is seen as the ideal player to occupy the '10' position, and play in support of the striker. The national press reports that there are other names mentioned, but the Shaktar player is a top target at Luz.

However, Rui Costa does not have an easy task in signing the young 22-year-old player. Shaktar wants a value in the order of 40 million euros to release Sudakov, which would mean a record investment by the red management to bring the attacking midfielder to Portugal.

Benfica wants to make use of the good relations it maintains with the Ukrainian club, from where Trubin arrived, for example. However, Rui Costa already knows that he faces stiff competition to bring Sudakov to Luz: from Serie A come Napoli and Inter Milan, two Italian giants, who are also interested in the player.
