Arthur Cabral flops at Benfica and puts the Eagles in a tight spot again | OneFootball

Torino has made an offer of 9 million euros, plus 3 million contingent on certain objectives, to Botafogo for Arthur Cabral. This information is being reported by journalist André Hernan. It remains to be seen what decision the Brazilian club will make regarding the forward.

Arthur Cabral might leave Benfica empty-handed

Although the Eagles initially had the right to receive 10% of the profit from a future transfer, Benfica will not receive anything if the deal goes through. The former Eagles forward was sold to Botafogo for 12 million euros in the summer market of 2025, meaning the amount is lower and, therefore, there is no 'profit' for the Brazilians.

In Brazil, Arthur Cabral has not yet been able to impress the Botafogo fans this season, as he has been affected by physical problems. In November, the coach of the Rio de Janeiro team, Davide Ancelotti, revealed that the 27-year-old forward was playing through pain. So far, the Brazilian has scored only five goals and made two assists in 25 matches.

Brazilian did not leave fond memories

Remember that Arthur Cabral joined Benfica in the summer of 2023, coming from Fiorentina, for 20 million euros. The Club of Light looked to the Brazilian after Gonçalo Ramos left for PSG. However, the striker's adventure did not go well, leaving the Reds with 18 goals and five assists in 77 games.

This season, wearing the Botafogo jersey, Arthur Cabral – valued at 9 million euros – played 28 games: 21 in the Brasileirão, three in the Copa Libertadores, three in the Copa do Brasil, and two in the FIFA Club World Cup. In the 1,854 minutes he was on the field, the athlete scored five goals and made two assists.
