The international footballer for Cape Verde will undergo medical exams on Monday before signing a contract with the Eagles valid until 2030, for about 5 million euros.

"Yes, it's already closed. The contracts are not yet signed, they will be between today and Monday, but it's already closed. On the 29th, he will have the medical exams, and at the beginning of the year, he will already be in the Benfica team. The deal was closed for approximately 5 million euros, plus some based on objectives. Estrela retains 10 percent of the pass and Benfica 90 percent".

In Paulo Lopo's statements to 'Negócios Record', it was also confirmed that Sidny Cabral's transfer to Benfica was an unmissable opportunity: "It is the biggest deal for Estrela da Amadora. It surpassed that of Igor Jesus, which was four million euros. A player who was signed at zero cost", he concluded.
