Shakhtar could cash in a significant sum.
Details: According to insider Nicolo Schira on social network X, 22-year-old midfielder of Shakhtar Donetsk and the Ukrainian national team Heorhii Sudakov has become a target for Lisbon's Benfica.
The source claims that Sudakov's recent performances for Shakhtar in European competitions have sparked a wave of admiration among scouts from many top European leagues, including Benfica.
At the moment, the Eagles already have one Ukrainian in their ranks – Anatoliy Trubin, who was Sudakov’s teammate at Shakhtar before moving to Benfica for €10 million.
Last season, Heorhii Sudakov played 37 matches for Shakhtar, scoring 15 goals and providing 6 assists.
Sudakov's current contract with the Miners runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €28 million.
Reminder: Roma are looking to strengthen their midfield. Florentino Luis is one of the options.
