Rafa Obrador, a left -handed side of Real Madrid who last season played on loan in Deportivo, can become Benfica footballer in the next few days. As indicated by the Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, a recognized specialist in international transfer, Real Madrid and Benfica are close to closing the transfer of the Ferrolano left side and also former sportsman Álvaro Carreras to the Madrid team and, inside the operation, Obrador would end up playing in the Lisbon team.
In this way, Benfica would advance to Genoa in the race to take over the services of Obrador. The Italian entity had taken her eyes in the exblanquiazul as a replacement for Honest Ahanor, who has left the Atalanta.
“Both the city, as the club, as I loved the fans and I am happy here. What I can not say is what will happen in the future. First because I do not know, but it also does not depend solely on me,” Obrador said last April in an interview with Dxt Champion about the possibility of prolonging his assignment with the blue and white entity.
The Sports Directorate of Dépor is happy with the performance that Obrador offered last campaign and his desire was to get the transfer of the young side again by Real Madrid. However, finally the young Mallorcan footballer will make the leap to the First Division of Portugal by Benfica.
Although he had already played a First Division match with Mallorca during the 2019-20 season, as a subsidiary footballer, the operator’s premiere campaign in professional football was 2024-25, with the sports team.
With the blue and white colors, the left side ceded by Castilla played 33 games in the Second Division and started 24 times.
The young player was a bet of the Herculin sports direction, after Sergio Escudero was injured during the Portuguese tour of the Herculin team during the preseason last summer. Obrador adapted perfectly to the game of Dépor and set a good campaign, although his performance was less in the final stretch.
Right now, Deportivo has two left sides on its template, Sergio Escudero, in addition to Io Simão, who played on loan in the Aranteiro last year, where he became an indisputable headline in First RFEF.
