Sidny Cabral leaving Benfica?
According to A Bola, Sidny Lopes Cabral's future at Benfica is uncertain, with his stay for the 2026/2027 season being contingent on the decision about the coach. The publication reports that if José Mourinho remains as coach, the most probable outcome is the player's departure. Benfica's SAD acknowledges negotiating his exit and prefers a permanent transfer or a loan with a purchase option, as the goal is to recover the investment made. More definite negotiations are expected after this summer's World Cup, where Sidny is a key player for the Cape Verde national team and his market value could increase. The player has already attracted interest from several clubs, which has led to initial contacts.
