Benfica’s possible new signing sparks outrage among Sporting fans | OneFootball

The press reports that Sporting is also interested in Sidny Cabral. According to Correio da Manhã, Benfica is aware of the Lions’ position regarding the player and is looking to speed up negotiations with Estrela da Amadora. However, the news did not sit well with the fans of the Alvalade club.

Through a post on the social network X, formerly Twitter, the page ‘Sporting CP Adeptos’ claims that the media outlet is lying about the alleged interest of the Lions in the tricolor player. “Why did they have to lie and drag Sporting into this?” the post reads.

In the same post, the author points out that the green and whites already have enough options in the squad managed by Rui Borges: “For right-back we have Fresneda, Vagiannidis and, next season, we’ll have Travassos.” “It makes zero sense for us to be interested,” the page associated with the Lions concluded.

It is worth recalling that Benfica is in negotiations with Estrela da Amadora in an attempt to sign one of the sensations of the current Liga Portugal Betclic season. The fee is reportedly set at 6 million euros, and his arrival at Luz could force a change of plans regarding the squad.

Sidny Cabral — currently valued at 2 million euros — has been one of the surprises of the tricolor team. This season, the player, who came through the ranks at Twente, has already played a total of 16 official matches: 15 in Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 1,358 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the number 55 has recorded five goals and three assists.
