Beşiktaş has placed Sidny Cabral, a 23-year-old right back from Estrela, on its transfer list as part of its effort to strengthen its defense. According to the Portuguese press, Beşiktaş has been monitoring the player for a long time and is preparing to make a concrete move. Cabral is a Cape Verdean international with 6 caps and 1 goal for his country. The club's focus on young, high-potential players has reportedly made Cabral a prominent target. He joined Estrela in July 2025 and also holds Dutch nationality. The player has a contract with Estrela until June 2028 and is said to be positive about a potential transfer to the Turkish club. Cabral has a market value of around 2 million Euro, can also play as a left back, and has 5 goals and 3 assists in 15 league matches this season. In addition to Beşiktaş, other clubs including Benfica, Fiorentina, and Sassuolo have been linked with the player. Reports in December 2025 stated Estrela's valuation for Cabral was €8 million, with a potential deal with Benfica being negotiated for €6 million. A release clause of €20 million was mentioned in November 2025.
