Rafael Obrador's future appears all but settled. Sassuolo has successfully convinced the Spanish left-back, having already reached an agreement with Benfica for a loan transfer with an option to buy, as A BOLA previously reported.
Only Obrador's approval was pending to finalize the deal. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the purchase option, following the year-long loan, is valued at seven million euros.
The Spanish U21 international was signed by Benfica from Real Madrid a year ago for five million euros. The Merengues secured 50% of any future transfer's capital gains.
Obrador is thus set to return to Serie A, after being loaned to Torino in the January transfer window. The Italian club had even expressed interest in acquiring the full-back permanently after he registered three assists and one goal in 17 appearances, but they did not activate the nine-million-euro purchase option clause.
