Benfica is creating waves in the winter transfer window. President Rui Costa recently hinted at roster changes, stirring excitement among fans and analysts alike. As speculation grows, Italian striker Andrea Belotti has emerged as a potential addition to the squad. However, this move hinges on whether Arthur Cabral will leave the club during this transfer period.
Such a strategic decision highlights Benfica's ambition to stay
competitive and raises important questions about their attacking setup
moving forward. Belotti is known for his physicality and ability to find space in the
box. His strengths include his aerial ability and strong finishing
skills. However, he has faced challenges in consistency, particularly
with injuries.
Should Cabral leave, Benfica would need to reassess their attacking options as Cabral has been linked to West Ham, Torino, Atlanta FC and clubs in Brazil, hence during the past week, Benfica have been linked to a host of strikers that would replace the Brazilian.
The financial impact of Cabral's transfer would allow Benfica to reinvest in a new striker and potentially strengthen the club in other areas of the squad. The 31 year old Belotti is said to be open to a move to Lisbon as he has been used sparingly at Como this season, playing only 650 minutes across all competitions, while scoring two goals.
