This season, the 26-year-old played in 19 of the club's 25 games, but started just four times. In terms of playing time, he only accumulated 502 minutes, which represents less than 25% of the team's total minutes. Last Sunday (29), Arthur entered the field for just six minutes in the defeat to Sporting, in a fierce Portuguese league classic.
Despite being present in most of the matches, Arthur Cabral's performance is still not impressive. He contributed four goals and one assist, playing a part in 13 wins, three draws and three defeats this season. His performance is far from what was expected for a player who cost Benfica 20 million euros in 2023.
INTERNATIONAL INTEREST
According to journalist André Hernan, < b>Benfica established a minimum price of 20 million euros, around R$130 million, to release the player. In November, the club turned down an offer of 15 million euros from Atlanta United, from the United States. This value reflects Benfica's initial bet, which paid the same amount to take him from Fiorentina, in Italy.
FLAMENGO OBSERVES THE BALL MARKET
With a history of investing in major signings, Flamengo remains attentive to the situation of Arthur Cabral a>. The Rio club is constantly looking for strong reinforcements for its squad, especially in attack, and Cabral fits the desired profile. However, the high cost and possible international competition could make any negotiation difficult.
While Arthur Cabral faces difficulties, a former Flamengo has stood out in Portuguese football. Igor Jesus, currently at Estrela Amadora, was named star of the match in the 1-1 draw against AVS FC. Igor Jesus had an impressive performance in the match, registering 40 actions with the ball and a pass success rate of 85%.He completed 23 of the 27 passes attempted and was efficient with long balls, with three successes in four attempts. These plays were fundamental in creating attacking opportunities for his team.

Flamengo will have two important absences for the duel against Bahia, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . Defender Léo Pereira and full-back Alex Sandro received their third yellow card in the goalless draw against Cruzeiro and are serving an automatic suspension.
Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.
With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes. The likely starting lineup includes Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Viña (or Ayrton Lucas); Jorginho (Allan or De La Cruz), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (or Carrascal), and Pedro . Leading the table with 55 points, Flamengo is looking to open up a gap over Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, who are closely tied.
On the other side, Bahia faces a crisis of absences. There are 13 confirmed absences—between suspensions and injuries—in addition to doubts like Ramos Mingo, who was injured in the last match. The Esquadrão, currently sixth with 40 points , will face an even greater challenge against the championship leader.
