Trabzonspor want Benfica winger in Turkey | OneFootball

Trabzonspor have Sidny Lopes Cabral on their radar and are preparing to move forward with contacts with Benfica. The winger is not part of José Mourinho’s plans and has the door open for an exit, so he is not expected to remain in the squad in 2026/27.

The intention, according to journalist Baha Coskun, is to understand the conditions demanded by Benfica for a possible departure of the player, who arrived at Luz recently but is still trying to establish himself consistently in the first team. In addition to Turkish interest, Lopes Cabral is also attracting attention in other markets, namely in the Netherlands, the country where he was born.

Although he was signed as a reinforcement for the attacking sector and seen as a potential starter, the 23-year-old footballer has still not fully convinced since his arrival. The expectation was that he would take on a prominent role, but the adaptation has been more difficult than expected.

The player has been losing space in the first team in recent weeks. Direct competition and José Mourinho’s preferences have put his place at risk. The player has not been an option for José Mourinho since March 21, in the Eagles’ 3-0 win over Vitória de Guimarães.

In the current season, both for Estrela da Amadora and Benfica, Sidny Lopes Cabral — valued at €5 million — has already made 28 official appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. .
