Obrador may hold the key to ending Benfica’s woes | OneFootball

Sport Lisboa e Benfica is working on resolving the future of Rafael Obrador with an eye on the next transfer window. According to Glorioso 1904 exclusively, the club's management is looking to place the left-back, who has faced notable difficulties in establishing himself and adapting since arriving at Luz, as previously reported by our Newspaper.

Return to origins on the table

The solution to the 21-year-old player's ordeal seems to involve a return to his native country. There are clubs from La Liga and the Spanish second division that have already expressed interest in acquiring the defender's services, seeing in him potential yet to be explored that hasn't had the chance to shine in Portugal.

Rafael Obrador's situation in the squad is delicate. The athlete has not played any minutes under the technical command of José Mourinho, being out of the coach's plans. The difficulties in adapting to national football and the tactical demands of a title contender have been obstacles to his progression in the first team.

The management led by Rui Costa is open to any type of deal, as long as it safeguards the investment. Benfica is open to a loan with a purchase option – for a value higher than the player's acquisition cost – or even a permanent sale if a financially appealing offer is made to Luz's coffers.

In Benfica's main team, Rafael Obrador - valued at 2 million euros - played only one match, during Bruno Lage's time, against Tondela, in a 3-0 victory, where he even showed promising signs. Additionally, the athlete played two matches for the secondary team of the Eagles, providing one assist.
