Arthur Cabral is shaking up the transfer market in Brazil, with ESPN reporting negotiations between Corinthians and Botafogo regarding the former Benfica forward's move to Timão. The 27-year-old had some impact in the early months with Fogão, scoring five goals and providing two assists by December, but he has been losing relevance in Martin Anselmi's team, which had previously blocked his departure but is unlikely to do so at this time. It is worth noting that when the forward's rights were sold, Benfica secured 10 percent of any future profit from Arthur Cabral's subsequent sale. However, it is unlikely that there will be any financial gain for the Eagles. First, because at this moment, according to the same source, the most probable scenario is that the transfer will be on loan. Even if he is sold, it is unlikely that Botafogo will conduct the deal for more than the 12 million euros they paid Benfica. This is especially true since in January, when the player was valued higher than he is now, Torino offered 10 million euros to bring Arthur Cabral back to Europe, but their offer was rejected.
