Benfica winger in talks to move to Turin in 2026/27 | OneFootball

Torino remain interested in keeping Rafa Obrador, but any progress in the negotiations depends on Benfica appointing their next head coach. The Spanish left-back has been on loan at the Italian club since January, and his future remains undecided.

Although Torino declined to trigger the €9 million buyout clause, the Italian side have not given up on signing the player permanently. The Italians have already made their intentions clear and are now waiting for a position from Benfica’s SAD.

The situation is, however, affected by the uncertainty surrounding the Eagles’ coaching role. Benfica first want to understand the plans of the coach who will take charge of the team next season before making a final decision on the winger’s future.

Signed from Real Madrid for €5 million, the 22-year-old full-back followed the reverse path of Álvaro Carreras, although he had previously spent time on loan at Deportivo de La Coruña, but he was unable to establish himself at the Club of Light.

This season, for both Benfica and Torino, Rafael Obrador - valued at €4 million - has made 19 appearances: 15 in Serie A, two in Liga Portugal Meu Super, one in the Coppa Italia and one in Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 1,383 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Spaniard has recorded one goal and three assists.
