As: Benfica signs left-back Obrador, and the transfer to Real Madrid will be the next official announcement
Benfica believes that Obrador has great potential and decides to bet on his future, in addition to Samuel Dal, who recalled him on June 4. They became Benfica's new left-back and the transfer was finalized.
These transfers confirm Benfica's concessions in the A-fee transfer. Real Madrid has always remained firm in their position: 50 million euros is too expensive, but in the end they have to compromise. After exempting the A-fee compensation, they avoided having to pay a one-time termination fee. They can pay in installments. The transfer of A fee will be the next official announcement.
The parties emphasized that the A-fee transfer and Obrador transactions are independent of each other. If Real Madrid earns 5 million euros by selling a player, it has actually reduced the fees paid for A fees. Fee A has always wanted to play for Real Madrid, and Benfica knows this. Even so, Benfica has a tough attitude, but the two sides are destined to reach an agreement from the very beginning.
Obrado will become Benfica's player, with a transfer fee of 5 million euros. He joined Real Madrid from Mallorca Youth Training in 2020. He continued to grow in Real Madrid youth team until he was promoted to Castilla, and in the 2022-23 season, he made 36 appearances. This includes the playoffs to be promoted to the Spanish Second Division. Last season, he loaned out of the Coruna, made 34 appearances and promoted his reputation in the transfer market.
Obrado has many suitors, such as Lazio, Espanyol and Las Palmas. Obrador looked very carefully at which club is the most beneficial to growth. In this regard, Benfica won. Obrador will pack his bags and head to Benfica, and A will leave soon. Benfica refused to associate Obrador's name with the A-fee replacement.
