Despite his struggles in Portugal and limited playing time, Cabral is still an in-demand striker and would likely welcome any move that would have his playing time increase. Cabral has appeared in 20 games at the club this season across all competitions, scoring five goals while providing one helper in 544 minutes of action.
Benfica had another lackluster first half against Braga which led to their downfall as they went into the half down 2-0, it was the same disappointing performance that proved costly in their loss to Sporting.
There second half was much better but they could not come back to take any points in the game and now sit in third spot as the season reaches the halfway point of the campaign.
Benfica will face Braga in a rematch on Wednesday in Leiria for a place in the League Cup Finals, then travel to the Algarve for a round of 16 Taca de Portugal game against Farense and then kick off the second half of the season versus Famalicao on the 17th.
Benfica coach Bruno Lage feels that the current squad has the right pieces to claim the Portuguese League crown and if the club is to look at a move it would be at the right back position, with the club ending the loan of Man City right back Issa Kabore early.
Lage could also look to the Seixal academy to add a player to back up current starter Alexander Bah, with the names of Leandro Santos and Diogo Spencer being mentioned.
Benfica may also look at a winger to provide some relief for 36 year old Angel di Maria. The club is still competing in four competitions at the moment and would like to manage Di Maria's minutes, so that they continue to get the best from the player.
The winter transfer window will remain open until February 5th, 2025.
