According to TuttoBolognaWeb, Bologna’s pursuit of Cabral from Benfica is proving to be more challenging than initially anticipated.
The sporting director, Giovanni Sartori, is reportedly putting pressure on to secure the deal, but Benfica is steadfast in their demand for €18 million.
This pricing has added complexity to Bologna’s efforts to bring the forward to Emilia Romagna, given the club’s budget constraints.
In light of these developments, Bologna has turned their attention towards signing Beltran as an alternative target.
“The Cabral situation is part of our secondary strategy,” an unnamed source close to the negotiations was cited as saying in TuttoBolognaWeb.
This highlights Bologna’s multi-pronged approach in the transfer market, as they continue to explore other avenues to bolster their attacking options.
