Benfica set to ditch signing, Eredivisie could be the answer | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral is increasingly falling out of José Mourinho’s plans. Signed by Benfica during the winter transfer window, the 23-year-old footballer is still struggling to establish himself at the Lisbon club and, due to the lack of opportunities, several sources indicate that the player has already been approached about leaving the Eagles soon.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, Sidny Cabral’s stay at Benfica next season is far from guaranteed, even less so if José Mourinho remains at the Lisbon club and, eventually renews his contract with the Reds. With that in mind, the Cape Verdean is weighing up the options currently on the table.

The same source explains that the 23-year-old footballer has received several enquiries from clubs interested in having him on board next season. The sports daily highlights that part of that interest comes from teams in the Netherlands, where the player completed his development.

The truth is that the number 15 has been in free fall since signing for Benfica. After a promising start in an Eagles shirt, Sidny Cabral gradually lost his prominence in the squad and there were incidents that are said to have harmed the player, recalling the moment when he asked for Vinícius Jr.’s shirt, something that left fans quite displeased.

Signed from Estrela da Amadora for €5.75 million, with the payment of a bonus that could reach €2.5 million also agreed, Sidny Cabral’s future is unlikely to lie with Benfica. However, the Eagles are currently not willing to listen to offers, instead waiting to assess the winger’s performances at the World Cup while representing the Cape Verde national team.
