Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica know Torino's stance on Obrador | OneFootball

Torino will not trigger the purchase option for Rafael Obrador, Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the Italian club, although pleased with the left-back’s performances, believes this is not the right time to negotiate with Benfica over the Spaniard’s stay.

Glorioso 1904 understands, from sources close to the process, that the Italian club is not willing to pay the €9 million set out in the agreement made with Benfica. Therefore, as our newspaper can confirm, the most likely outcome is that Obrador will return to Luz at the end of the season.

As Glorioso 1904 has learned exclusively, the Turin club’s board, despite being satisfied with the performances of the number 33, considers €9 million too high an amount to pay Benfica. After a first half of the season without minutes, the Spaniard has found a new lease of life in Italy and has impressed the locals.

As our newspaper points out, this ends up being another loan that will not bring Benfica millions in the summer market. It should be remembered that, within the space of a week, the Eagles also saw Nice and Strasbourg inform them that they will not move forward with permanent deals for Tiago Gouveia and Rafael Luís, respectively.

So far this season, for both Benfica and Torino, Rafael Obrador - valued at €4 million - has made 15 official appearances: 11 in Serie A, two in Liga Portugal Meu Super, one in the Coppa Italia and one in Liga Portugal Betclic.
