Exclusive Glorioso 1904 – Rafael Obrador’s future at Benfica in doubt | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador may be leaving Benfica in the January transfer window. In this Exclusive Glorioso 1904, our Newspaper reports that the Spanish left-back's adaptation to the reds is not going well and that, at this stage, the officials are already considering a loan exit.

With the departure of Álvaro Carreras to Real Madrid, for 50 million euros, and despite the arrival, on a permanent basis, of Samuel Dahl, Benfica's officials felt the need to go to the market and it was in this sense that they moved forward with the signing of Rafael Obrador, which cost about 5 million euros.

In a recent interview, Rui Costa addressed the situation of Benfica's reinforcement: ""He's a kid we trust and we hope will have a great future. I remember being contested for having put the buyback clause [for Man. United] in Carreras. We have to give him time”.

So far, with José Mourinho in charge, Rafael Obrador has not played any minute for the main team. The coach even left a message for the athlete. Previously, with Bruno Lage, the Spanish under-21 international only played one match, against Tondela, having left at the 67th minute and left good impressions.

Faced with the difficulty in the adaptation process, Benfica is studying the possibility of loaning Rafael Obrador to a team in the Liga Portugal Betclic. The goal is to place the 21-year-old left-back in a club where he has regular playing time so that in the future he can be useful to Benfica.
