Attention, Benfica! Updates on Obrador’s move to Torino | OneFootball

Torino has finalized all the contract details with Rafael Obrador. According to reports, the negotiations between the Italian club and the player have been successful. However, the same sources explain that Benfica has been the main obstacle to his departure, as they have not accepted the proposal that the Turin club presented to the Eagles.

According to Tuttosport, Torino has everything settled with the number 3 of the Eagles, but the same is not true with Benfica, as the two clubs have not yet reached an agreement regarding the financial terms of the transfer.

The Italian newspaper reports that Obrador is expected to leave the Eagles on loan, with the Italian club having a purchase option. This is precisely where the obstacle arises: Torino is willing to pay only 2 million euros, an amount that is far below what the Clube da Luz invested with Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.

Moreover, Tuttosport reveals that the impasse is not only about the financial terms. The same source explains that, on Torino's side, the Italian club is also dependent on some departures, namely those of Biraghi and Nkounkou.

This season, wearing the Benfica jersey, Rafael Obrador — valued at 2 million euros — played three matches: one in the Liga Portugal Betclic and two in the Second League. In the 237 minutes he was on the field, the full-back, who is under contract until June 2030, scored one goal and made one assist.
