Sidny Cabral ‘to weigh’ Benfica future, move considered after World Cup | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral is set to assess his Benfica future in the coming weeks as his role has narrowed, with any steps likely to follow the summer World Cup. Club hierarchy and player appear aligned on the timing.

Record reports that José Mourinho could stay at the Estádio da Luz next season despite Real Madrid interest, a scenario that may shape any exit for the No 15, and that Benfica are not entertaining offers for now, intending to reassess after Cabral’s World Cup displays with Cape Verde.

Cabral joined from Estrela da Amadora in January and has struggled to establish himself.

A versatile option at full-back or wing on either flank, he is viewed as an attractive target for European clubs, with a return to the Netherlands among the possibilities.

The 23-year-old also feels he could develop more with regular minutes away from Lisbon at the end of the season, potentially in another European league.

He began with several appearances, but an episode in which he asked for Vinicius Jr’s shirt after the Brazilian accused Prestianni of racism, with the Argentine punished, brought repercussions for the defender.
