Roma Eyes Rafael Obrador After Torino Loan Ends

As the summer transfer season unfolds, Tony D’Amico has set his sights on bolstering the flanks for AS Roma. One player on their radar is Rafael Obrador, a left-back who recently finished a loan stint with Torino. The Giallorossi are actively seeking solutions to enhance their wing positions, especially with several potential departures looming.

The situation on the left side of the pitch for Roma might change significantly in the coming weeks. Kostas Tsimikas is set to return to Liverpool, while both Angeliño and Devyne Rensch could be on their way out of the capital. This urgency for a dependable left-back grows, especially if Gian Piero Gasperini opts to move Wesley back to the right flank.

New developments regarding Obrador’s status have emerged, as reported by the Portuguese publication ‘O Jogo’. Torino has chosen not to activate their €9 million purchase option for the young defender. Born in 2004, Obrador will thus be heading back to Benfica once his loan concludes. Should Roma pursue him, they will need to negotiate terms directly with the Portuguese club.

Market assessments from Transfermarkt suggest that Obrador's value is approximately €5 million, although Benfica may seek a higher price for one of their standout young talents.
