Anisio Cabral, the 17-year-old Benfica striker (under contract until 2027) and a Portuguese youth international, has been mentioned as a potential target for Paris Saint-Germain during the transfer window. O Jogo reports that PSG is monitoring the situation, but the Portuguese club intends to take some time to secure the deal.
With a contract running until June 2027 and a release clause of €30 million, the number 72 will turn 18 next Sunday. Benfica SAD has drawn up a plan to extend his contract until 2031, including a substantial salary increase and a higher release clause, set at over €60 million. According to some sources, an agreement has been reached for his signing.
PSG is aware of the situation and has decided not to take any concrete steps to acquire the striker. For now, the Parisian club is focused on gathering information and monitoring him closely.
This information is credible, coming from a fairly reliable media outlet, and the whole picture seems plausible. PSG can keep an eye on the young striker’s situation, just as Benfica wants to prepare as best as possible for the player who has scored 2 goals in 3 matches with the first team. One of those goals secured a victory a few days ago.
For the Portuguese club, the goal is at least to obtain the best possible sum, as the league is currently losing its top talents. There are also some very lucrative sales, which allow for sound investments and healthy finances. PSG has already made significant inquiries in Portugal and could return with another attempt to sign Cabral.
However, a substantial sum will be required, and some competition is expected. Paris could also explore other options, as the player himself might prefer other destinations. Nothing is concrete at the moment.
