Exclusive Glorioso 1904 - Obrador may have answer in sight for Benfica woes | OneFootball

Sport Lisboa e Benfica is working on resolving the future of Rafael Obrador with an eye on the next transfer window. According to exclusive information obtained by Glorioso 1904, the club's management is looking to place the left-back, who has faced notable challenges in establishing himself and adapting since arriving at Luz, as previously reported by our newspaper.

Return to origins on the table

The solution for the 21-year-old player's predicament seems to involve a return to his home country. There are clubs from La Liga and the Spanish second division that have already expressed interest in acquiring the defender's services, seeing in him untapped potential that hasn't had the chance to shine in Portugal.

Rafael Obrador's situation in the squad is delicate. The player has not accumulated any minutes under the technical command of José Mourinho, being out of the coach's plans. The difficulties in adapting to national football and the tactical demands of a title contender have been obstacles to his progress in the first team.

The management led by Rui Costa is open to any type of deal, as long as it safeguards the investment. Benfica is open to a loan with a purchase option – for a value higher than the player's acquisition cost – or even a definitive sale, should a financially appealing offer arise for the club.

In Benfica's main team, Rafael Obrador - valued at 2 million euros - played only one match, during Bruno Lage's tenure, against Tondela, in a 3-0 victory, where he even showed promising signs. Additionally, the player participated in two matches for the club's secondary team, providing one assist.
