Sidny Cabral is getting ready 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 seen as available for transfer 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 to consider.
According to the sports daily, 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 sealed. It seems 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 has not ruled out. However, given the change in Benfica’s coaching staff, he wants to delay the process in order to understand whether he can be a valid option for the Portuguese manager’s successor.
. Wearing the number 15 shirt, along with the rest of the Blue Sharks squad, he will face the national teams of Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.
