Deal almost done! Benfica flop set to leave, netting €10m | OneFootball

Sidny Lopes Cabral is very close to leaving Benfica and joining Trabzonspor. The two clubs have already reached an agreement for a transfer worth more than €10 million. At this point, only the player’s approval is missing for the deal to be completed.

The Eagles’ management has shown willingness to negotiate the departure of the player, who joined the club from Estrela da Amadora last season, according to the newspaper 'Record'.

The team that finished third in last season’s Turkish league has been closely following the versatile player’s progress for quite some time. Trabzonspor officials traveled to Portugal with the aim of completing the footballer’s transfer before the start of the World Cup.

Given the player’s likely departure, Benfica has already started analyzing possible alternatives to strengthen the squad. The signing is expected to be announced as soon as all the necessary formalities are completed. Until then, the transfer remains dependent only on the final agreement with the player.

In the 2025/26 season, while playing for both Estrela da Amadora and Benfica, Sidny Cabral — valued at €5 million — made 28 appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup.
