Sidny Cabral is preparing to take part in the first World Cup of his career, in what is a historic appearance for Cape Verde. However, the 23-year-old footballer will travel to the United States with his future at Benfica still uncertain, with him being considered transferable in the summer market.

Benfica intend to wait until after the World Cup, hoping the player’s value will rise, but there is also Sidny Cabral’s side of the story.

As the sports daily wrote, the 23-year-old footballer is also in no rush to pack his bags and leave the Luz, at a time when José Mourinho’s departure is practically a done deal. By all indications, the Cape Verdean is waiting to see the arrival of a new coach.

It is no secret that Sidny Cabral was aware that the Special One’s continued stay could mean his departure, a scenario he still does not rule out. However, given the change in Benfica’s technical command, he intends to delay the process in order to understand whether he can be a valid option for the Portuguese coach’s successor.

The number 15 shirt, along with the rest of the Blue Sharks squad, will face the national teams of Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.
