Trabzonspor is set to sign Sidny Lopes Cabral from Benfica, with the Cape Verde international undergoing medical tests in Türkiye. The transfer, worth €10 million plus €2 million in objectives-based add-ons, will see Cabral join the Europa League play-off side on a four-year contract. Benfica signed Cabral from Estrela da Amadora in January for €6 million, but he struggled to secure a regular starting place, featuring in just 12 official matches and scoring one goal with three assists. Andreas Schjelderup and Bruma are Benfica's leading options in the role, but Schjelderup will be at the World Cup when pre-season begins on 25 June, while Bruma is recovering from an injury-hit season. Trabzonspor's acquisition of Cabral is seen as a key move to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The Turkish club will contest the Europa League play-off next season, and Cabral's signing is expected to boost their chances. According to Glorioso 1904, the transfer is nearing completion, with Cabral set to sign a four-year contract. Estrela da Amadora will retain 10 per cent of any capital gain on the transfer. The move is a significant one for Trabzonspor, who are looking to make a strong impression in the Europa League play-off. With Cabral on board, the club will be hoping to make a deep run in the competition. The transfer is also a notable one for Benfica, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The Portuguese club is targeting a player who prefers the left side or can operate on both wings, as they look to bolster their attacking options.
