No room at Benfica, Sidny Cabral may have a big decision to make | OneFootball

The future of Sidny Cabral at Benfica is in doubt and may also depend on whoever is in charge of the Eagles. While nothing is certain, the information gathered by the press suggests that the Cape Verdean winger may soon be advised to leave the club from Luz.

According to what Record has learned, the possibility of José Mourinho remaining at Luz next season — despite interest from Real Madrid — is strong, and everything indicates that this scenario could influence the departure of the number 15, who, since arriving at Benfica in the January transfer window, has found it very difficult to establish himself in the Eagles' squad.

The fact that Sidny Cabral is a highly versatile player, capable of playing as both a full-back and a winger on either flank, makes the Cape Verdean a very attractive Benfica asset for other European football projects. Among the options on the table, the source says the defender’s plan could involve returning to the Dutch league.

The sports daily adds that Sidny Cabral’s departure is not just a scenario being considered by the club’s hierarchy; the 23-year-old player himself also feels he will have more room to develop if he leaves Benfica at the end of the season and moves to other European leagues, where he could become an important player.

It is worth remembering that Sidny Cabral started well in the Reds’ squad, picking up several minutes in the opening matches. However, as the weeks have gone by, the Cape Verdean has lost his place at Luz and, the fact that he asked for Vinicius Jr.’s shirt after the Brazilian accused Prestianni of racism — the Argentine was punished — had repercussions for the defender.
