Gasperini wants Benfica left-footer at Roma; Eagles want near €10m | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador continues to attract interest in the European market after a positive spell at Torino in the second half of last season. Despite being under contract with Benfica, the winger’s future at the Luz remains uncertain.

Torino are still keeping tabs on the defender, although they let the deadline pass to trigger the €9 million purchase option. In addition to the Turin club, Roma, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, have also been mentioned as a possible contender to sign the Spaniard.

The Spanish market could also offer alternatives for the player. It should be remembered that Obrador joined Benfica from Real Madrid for around €5 million, after standing out while playing for Deportivo La Coruña.

Benfica’s board do not intend to let the full-back leave for a fee below the amount previously agreed with Torino, believing that his market value could continue to rise. For the position, Benfica currently have Samuel Dahl and José Neto.

In the 2025/26 season, for both Benfica and Torino, Rafael Obrador - valued at €5 million - made 20 appearances: 16 in Serie A, two in Liga Portugal Meu Super, one in the Coppa Italia and one in Liga Portugal Betclic.
