Beşiktaş is competing for Benfica's 22-year-old Spanish left-back, Rafael Obrador, and faces competition from Torino, where the player spent the second half of last season on loan. The Italian club, which declined a €9 million purchase option, now wants to secure him on another loan with a €7 million buy option. Beşiktaş may have an advantage due to greater financial resources and the ability to offer European competition. However, according to the Turkish press, the club's offer does not meet the values sought by Benfica. Consequently, Beşiktaş has identified Kassoum Outtara from Monaco as an alternative. Benfica's preferred outcome is a permanent sale or a loan with a mandatory purchase clause of at least €9 million, because Real Madrid is entitled to 50 percent of the capital gain from any transfer. Deportivo and other Spanish clubs have also shown interest in Obrador. The defender, who has 5 caps and 1 goal for Spain's U21 team, joined Benfica in July 2025 and is under contract until 2030. His market value is listed as €5.00m by Transfermarkt. In June 2026, reports indicated Benfica was seeking approximately €10 million for a transfer, and it was also reported that Torino offered €5 million.
