Georgiy Sudakov to Benfica? Eagles forced into a real gamble | OneFootball

Shakhtar Donetsk is demanding 30 million euros to release Georgiy Sudakov's pass. According to information advanced by the newspaper A Bola, this is the value that the Ukrainian emblem wants for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who is one of Benfica's main targets for the final stretch of the market.

However, according to the same source, given these values, Georgiy Sudakov - who has already spoken out about the eagles' interest - will hardly be a reinforcement for the Club of Light. The Benfica leaders, with Rui Costa at the helm, are not in the mood to commit this 'madness' for the Shakhtar Donetsk player, considering the amounts demanded too high.

One of the factors that may change the fate of this deal is Benfica's eventual entry into the Champions League. That is, with the millions from the Champions League, Bruno Lage's team may come to raise the stakes for Georgiy Sudakov, although the 30 million euros are always a very high value.

Rui Costa, along with the rest of Benfica's football structure, is studying a proposal for Georgiy Sudakov similar to the one the Reds made for Trubin, that is, leaving a significant part of the Ukrainian international's economic rights in the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk.

This season, Georgiy Sudakov - valued at 32 million euros - has played nine games 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 was on the field, the midfielder made two assists.
