The latest development in the transfer negotiations between Torino and Benfica regarding the Brazilian striker Arthur Cabral, formerly of Fiorentina, has seen complications arise.
According to the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, the deal to bring Arthur Cabral back to Serie A has hit a snag.
Benfica has reportedly set the price for the striker’s transfer at a figure that might be too steep for Torino to comfortably meet.
An insider from Benfica is quoted by O Jogo as saying, “The club is firm on its valuation of Cabral, and any interested parties must come close to this figure to secure a deal.”
This stance from Benfica could potentially derail Torino’s efforts to reinforce their attacking lineup with the Brazilian’s prowess.
Arthur Cabral, who had an impressive stint in Serie A with Fiorentina, is believed to be keen on returning to Italy, a sentiment that aligns with Torino’s interest.
A source close to the negotiations has been quoted as saying, “While Cabral is eager to return to Serie A, financial and contractual agreements are proving to be significant hurdles.”
With the transfer window closing soon, both clubs will need to expedite discussions if a deal is to be struck in time.
Should Torino find a way to meet Benfica’s demands, it could mark a significant acquisition for the Italian side ahead of the new season.
