Rafael Obrador has found a new lease on life in Turin during the second half of the season. The Spanish left-back joined Torino on loan from Benfica in January, having failed to register a single minute under José Mourinho.
The Spain U21 international quickly established himself, starting 15 of the 17 Serie A matches he played, contributing a goal and two assists. Obrador's impressive performances on the left flank have convinced Torino, with the *Tuttosport* newspaper reporting their interest in making the move permanent.
Benfica's loan agreement includes a purchase option valued at nine million euros, but the Turin-based club is reportedly unwilling to pay that sum and is seeking a discount. *Tuttosport* indicates that Torino is actively trying to lower the left-back's price. Meanwhile, Tommaso Barbieri from Cremonese and Mattia Darmian, who is out of contract with Inter, are being considered as options for the right flank.
Italian media has already reported Roma's interest in Obrador should Torino fail to secure his permanent transfer.
Benfica acquired the left-back for five million euros in the summer of 2025. Real Madrid retains a 50 percent sell-on clause.
