Trabzonspor nears deal for Sidny Lopes Cabral

Continuing its transfer efforts ahead of the new season, Trabzonspor is preparing to make a significant addition to its defensive line.

Working in line with the report from head coach Fatih Tekke, the Trabzonspor management has neared the end of the transfer process for Sidny Lopes Cabral, who has been on their agenda for a long time.

The Bordeaux-Blues have reached an agreement in principle for Cabral's transfer, and the player is expected to arrive in Istanbul tomorrow. The Cape Verde national team player, who can play in both right-back and left-back positions, is planned to sign an official contract following medical examinations.

Transfer to be completed before the World Cup

The Bordeaux-Blue management is working intensively to finalize the transfer before the World Cup, taking into account the possibility of increased interest from European clubs in the 23-year-old player. While a consensus has largely been reached in the negotiations between the parties, it has been learned that Cabral will arrive in Istanbul by private jet.

From Benfica to Trabzonspor

Sidny Lopes Cabral, who has played in Germany and Portugal during his football career, transferred to Benfica last season. The young player, who draws attention with his speed, ability to use both feet effectively, and offensive contribution, is expected to play an important role in Trabzonspor's new season squad structure.
