Obrador impresses in Italy, Benfica rubbing their hands | OneFootball

After six months without being able to find his place, Rafael Obrador has found new life in Italy, playing for Torino. Becoming increasingly adapted to Italian football and seen as a key figure at the Serie A club, this new situation for the Spaniard has Benfica rubbing their hands with glee.

According to the newspaper A Bola, in just a few months, Obrador has managed to ‘clean up’ the image he left behind at Luz, showcasing all the qualities that made him a sought-after product of Real Madrid’s academy and that had seen him enjoy a standout season at Deportivo de La Coruña.

Benfica, for their part, view this resurgence of the Spanish footballer very positively, as it could mean a new financial windfall from the Obrador deal. It’s worth remembering that he stood out in Torino’s victory over Lazio, where he provided the assist for Torino’s second goal in the 2-0 win.

“In terms of departures from the main squad, it’s worth highlighting the loan of Obrador to Torino until the end of the season, with a purchase option for the Italian club set at 9 million euros, while Benfica, SAD retains a 10% sell-on fee in the event of a future transfer,” stated the Luz club in their latest Financial Report.

This season, wearing the Torino shirt, Rafael Obrador – valued at 2 million euros – has already played a total of six official matches: five in Serie A and one in the Coppa Italia. In the 329 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Spaniard has registered one assist.
