Benfica have named their asking price for Tottenham goalkeeping target Anatoliy Trubin, who is keen on a switch to North London.
It has been widely reported that Tottenham are ready to cash in on Vicario, and unsurprisingly, the Lilywhites are scouring the market for a replacement.
Reports in Portugal have indicated that Spurs are considering a move for Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin, who has been exceptional between the sticks since his switch from Shakhtar Donetsk three years ago.
Having previously played under De Zerbi at Shakhtar, the goalkeeper has admitted he would love to reunite with the Tottenham head coach at N17.
Anatoliy Trubin’s price is putting off Tottenham and his other suitors
Correio da Manha (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now revealed that Benfica are willing to sell their number one, but only for a fee in the region of €40m (£34m).
The report confirms that Tottenham are interested in a move for Trubin, but it is revealed that other Premier League clubs have also made checks on the youngster.
The publication does not name the other interested clubs, but it asserts that Benfica’s asking price is currently discouraging those teams from substantiating their interest.
However, the Portuguese giants are under no pressure to lower their price, with the goalkeeper under contract until 2028 and being protected by a release clause of €100m (£86m).
Spurs have run into trouble in their efforts to sell Guglielmo Vicario
It had been widely reported until a month or two ago that Vicario is bound for Inter Milan, but that deal no longer appears to be on the cards.
Inter and Spurs have not agreed on the valuation of the goalkeeper, and it has emerged over recent weeks that the Nerazzurri have called off their pursuit of the Lilywhites’ number one.
However, Vicario is one of two goalkeepers at the top of Juventus’ wishlist, and the North London club will hope that a bid soon arrives from the Bianconeri for the 29-year-old.
