Alert! He cost Benfica millions and could leave before the World Cup | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral continues to attract interest away from the Luz, and Trabzonspor are determined to complete the signing of the Benfica winger as quickly as possible. The Turkish club want to avoid competition and fear the player’s value could rise before the 2026 World Cup.

According to the channel 'A Spor', the 'Reds’ number 15' will be at the tournament on Cape Verde duty, a scenario that could increase the player’s visibility in the market.

The Cape Verde international joined Benfica in the winter transfer window from Estrela da Amadora in a deal worth six million euros. Initially, he earned a place among José Mourinho’s options and put together several consecutive appearances between January and February.

However, Sidny Cabral ended up losing prominence after the Champions League play-off against Real Madrid. The controversy sparked by his request for Vinícius Júnior’s shirt did not go down well internally, and Sidny gradually disappeared from the coaching staff’s selections.

In the 2025/26 season, for both Estrela da Amadora and Benfica, Sidny Cabral — valued at 5 million euros — has already made a total of 28 official appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 1,835 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the player has recorded six goals and six assists.
