It became obvious that Anatoly Trubin would change the team in the summer. Trubin’s agreement with the Pitmen is valid until the summer of 2024. The goalkeeper does not want to sign a new contract. Shakhtar, in order not to lose Anatoly for free, will be forced to sell him in the summer of 2023 in order to count on serious compensation. Shakhtar already understand that they will not be able to keep Trubin, so they signed Dmytro Riznyk from Vorskla, who should adapt to the team in six months and become the main goalkeeper of the Donetsk team next season.
In choosing a new club, it is important for Trubin not to repeat the mistakes made by Andrei Lunin. The football factor should prevail over the agency one. Anatoly’s new team should be a club where he can immediately count on playing practice, and not just have a perspective.
Trubin is ready for this. The third season is the main goalkeeper of Shakhtar, spent three seasons in the Champions League, made his debut for the Ukrainian national team, was in the squad for Euro 2020 and is the main goalkeeper of the youth team. Worked with three coaches at the club. And all this at 21 years old.
The summary allows you to go to the leading championship. Trubin will be on the shortlist of clubs that will be looking for a goalkeeper in the summer, as well as teams that can sell their goalkeepers and look for a replacement
England
The most likely move to the Premier League. Local clubs have financial possibilities. Even an average or outsider can pay tens of millions of euros. We all know that Shakhtar don’t sell their players cheaply.

The situation in Manchester United with David De Gea is unclear. The Spaniard’s recent seasons have been slurred. But now he has returned to his high level. The question of the contract, which expires in the summer of 2023. The club has an option to renew for another season. David is 32 years old. He will want to get a long-term deal and with good conditions. If the parties do not agree, a prospect opens up for Trubin. Here is another important factor of Erik ten Hag. The media wooed Trubin to Ajax, where Eric worked. The Dutch coach may know Trubin well.
Newcastle’s goalkeeping position may need to be strengthened. Eddie Howe’s team does not have a status goalkeeper. The main one is Nick Pope, who is already 30 years old, but he does not have any international experience. If the Magpies reach the Champions League, the question of a new goalkeeper may arise.
Tottenham need another goalkeeper. Hugo Lloris is 36 years old. Hugo decided to end his performances for the French national team. Now he is injured. There is no replacement for the French. For Trubin, this would be a great option. While Lloris has a valid contract until the summer of 2024, the Ukrainian could adapt to English football, have some game practice, and then become the first number. It is only unclear who will be the Spurs’ mentor in the new season. Contract Conte is valid until the summer. Much will depend for the Italian coach on reaching the Champions League.
The other most realistic option looks to be Leicester. The Foxes were never able to find a replacement for Kasper Schmeichel. The goalkeeper factor has become one of the reasons for the failure of this season. Brandon Rodgers was able to keep the team, but to return to the position next season, a new good goalkeeper is needed.
Unai Emery has expressed dissatisfaction with world champion Emiliano Martinez as the main goalkeeper of Aston Villa. In winter, it was not possible to change the goalkeeper. Anything can happen in the summer. The favorite to move to Birmingham is the Moroccan Bunu from Sevilla. But everything can change, and the choice will fall on Trubin.

I wouldn’t discount Brighton. De Zerby has a good goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez. But the Spaniard can become an asset to the club, which will be sold in the summer. The status of the main goalkeeper of the Spanish national team allows Sanchez to hope for a stronger club. De Zerbi knows Trubin well, because they worked together in Ukraine for half a year.
Spain
In La Liga, only three options look real – Sevilla, Atlético and Valencia.
Bunu may go to Sevilla in the summer. There is interest in the Moroccan in the Premier League. Second goalkeeper Serb Marko Dmitrovic does not look very convincing. In the summer, the Andalusians will need to build a new team after a disastrous season. A bet may be placed on a new goalkeeper.
With “Atletico” and “Valencia” the situation is identical – both clubs have excellent goalkeepers. If they sell Yan Oblak and Giorgi Mamardashvili in the summer, part of the money could go to Trubin. I think the Madrid version is more realistic. In the summer, the “mattress” have every chance to go to the restructuring of the composition.
In the Bundesliga, Leipzig looks like the main option. This season, team captain Peter Gulaci was seriously injured. It is not clear if the Hungarian will be able to return to his level when he is 33 years old. Leipzig saw Anatoly in action during the Champions League matches. And the team’s mentor Marco Rose should remember him from the confrontation with Shakhtar while working in Gladbach.

Actually, Borussia Mönchengladbach may also be among the candidates for Trubin after the sale of Jan Sommer’s many-year-old number one to Bayern.
Italy
In Serie A, Trubin should have a good reputation. In three of the four matches against Inter, he kept a clean sheet. Of course, the Italian scouts paid attention to him.
But any real options are still hard to find. The leading teams have no problems with the first number, and it makes no sense to go to the middle teams. Perhaps Milan will get tired of Mike Meignan’s injuries or Juventus will plan to change the goalkeeper.
There may also be interesting options here. The main goalkeeper of Monaco, Alexander Nübel, is on loan from Bayern. It is unclear what will happen to him in the summer. Given the ages of Manuel Neuer and Jan Sommer, he is unlikely to be permanently sold to the kingdom. For Trubin, this will be a good opportunity to have a transitional period before being transferred to the Top 4.
