Villa are among the clubs holding an interest in the Benfica goalkeeper as they assess their options behind Emiliano Martínez, GiveMeSport reported on July 17th. The 24-year-old Ukraine international is in demand: Juventus have identified him as a target but remain apart from Benfica on valuation, and Real Madrid are also monitoring him. Benfica are braced for offers from around €20m, a figure complicated by Shakhtar Donetsk's entitlement to 40% of any capital gain on the €10m Benfica paid in 2023. Trubin has said repeatedly that he wants to test himself in a stronger league, with the Premier League his stated preference. No approach from Villa has been reported.
