Rafael Obrador set to leave, Benfica could pocket a few million | OneFootball

Rafael Obrador is getting closer to leaving for Benfica. Apparently, the full-back is set to head to Torino, on loan from the Eagles, in a deal that should include a purchase option clause set at 10 million euros. This way, the Eagles resolve the situation of a player who was not in the plans for the first team.

The move to Torino will allow the full-back to get more playing time and establish himself, while Benfica maintains a stake in his sporting and financial future. The Turin club is currently 12th in Serie A, having recently eliminated Mile Svilar’s Roma from the Coppa Italia.

The Spaniard was unable to establish himself at the Estádio da Luz in the first half of the season, first under Bruno Lage and more recently with José Mourinho. Signed from Real Madrid last summer for around 5 million euros, the Spanish U21 international signed a five-year contract until 2030, with a release clause of 50 million euros.

This season, wearing the Benfica shirt, Rafael Obrador – valued at 2 million euros – played three matches: one in Liga Portugal Betclic and two in the Segunda Liga. In the 237 minutes he was on the pitch, the full-back, who is under contract until June 2030, scored one goal and provided one assist.
