Rafael Obrador set to leave Benfica for a move to Turin | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador may be leaving Benfica as early as this January transfer window, with the Italian club Torino emerging as a possible suitor for the Spaniard. The Turin-based club is interested in the Benfica player and a proposal may be made in the coming days.

The interest was reported by journalist Alfredo Pedullà, although the details of a possible transfer between the clubs have not yet been defined. The player arrived at Luz last summer, signed from Real Madrid for around five million euros, but his appearances for the first team have been scarce.

Despite having a long contract until 2030 and a release clause of 50 million euros, the lack of opportunities could indeed result in a farewell to the Eagles, as he is seen only as the third option for the position, behind Samuel Dahl and Sidny Cabral.

On Benfica’s side, the possible departure of the player is seen in the context of squad management and options for growth. With competition at left-back and other young talents emerging, a loan or even a transfer could benefit the player.

In the current sports season, the athlete - currently valued at 2 million euros - has played only three official matches for the Eagles: one in Liga Portugal Betclic and two in Liga Portugal Meu Super. In the 237 minutes he played, the 'number 3' contributed with one assist.
