Benfica flop tipped to leave, but stirs things up: I’m staying | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral has spoken publicly to clarify his contractual situation at a time when reports coming out of Turkey pointed to Trabzonspor’s interest. The full-back, however, insists he knows nothing about those moves and says he is focused on Benfica.

“I’m staying at Benfica, I don’t know anything about that”, said the Cape Verde international, who arrived at Luz less than six months ago from Estrela da Amadora in the January transfer window, after playing in a friendly against Serbia at the Estádio do Restelo.

Sidny Cabral also took the opportunity to talk about his adaptation to the Club and had words of appreciation for the work carried out under the guidance of José Mourinho. “Working with José Mourinho was great, I learned a lot”, highlighted the young defender, underlining the progress he has felt since arriving at the club in red.

The wide player also addressed an episode that marked his recent spell in European football, related to swapping shirts with Vinícius Júnior in a match against Real Madrid. “What happened was not a good idea on my part, but after that I worked hard, doing my best and trying to win back my place”, he admitted.

Finally, Sidny Cabral acknowledged that a football career is not linear and that he has faced ups and downs since arriving at Benfica. “Football is like that, sometimes we are at the top and other times things are not going so well”, the player commented.
