Benfica defender Sidny Lopes Cabral is reportedly close to a move to Turkish side Trabzonspor, with the transfer rated at an 80% probability.
The 23-year-old right-back, who holds both Cape Verdean and Dutch nationality, is being linked with a switch from Liga Portugal to the Süper Lig, according to data compiled on 30 May 2026. His current market value is listed at €4.00m, placing him in an affordable bracket for Trabzonspor as they look to strengthen their defensive options.
Cabral is currently on the books of Benfica and wears the number 15 shirt, but details of his contract length and expiry are not publicly available. That uncertainty has fuelled suggestions he could become a free agent if his contract situation is not clarified, increasing speculation that a move away from Lisbon could be imminent.
Born in Rotterdam on 18 September 2002, Cabral stands at 1.76m and is noted for his versatility at right-back, being comfortable with both feet. He is registered in his main position as a defender on the right side and is associated at national level with Benfica rather than a senior international team in the available data.
The latest rumour, sourced from Transfermarkt’s tracking of market activity, places the potential move to Trabzonspor at a high likelihood, with an 80% chance recorded on 30 May 2026. No transfer fee has been agreed and there is no confirmation yet of whether any deal would involve a formal transfer or a free-agent scenario if his contract has expired or is allowed to run down.
If the move does materialise, a step into the Süper Lig with a club of Trabzonspor’s stature could mark a significant next phase in Cabral’s career, offering him a platform to enhance his reputation and market value in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
