The formula of the deal for the 23-year-old Cabral is a €1 million loan with an option to buy set at €8 million, while the player’s salary is set at €1.5 million per year. Although Lazio were linked to various attackers throughout the Winter Transfer Window, they dialled in on the Cape Verde international today and worked diligently to get the deal over the line before the deadline.

Cabral will reinforce Maurizio Sarri’s current attack of Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Mattia Zaccagni, Raul Moro, and Ciro Immobile. Although primarily deployed as a left-winger, he also has experience playing as a right-winger and striker.
This season, the player has made 17 appearances (707 minutes) for Sporting Lisbon, netting three goals and tallying one assist.
Looks like the next flop. He is chubby, he can’t dribble, no pace, no vision, some stamina. The romanian Man would have been a better option.
The same feelings
I would have preferred Dennis Man as well as he knows Italy and Serie A; however, let’s not count Cabral out yet – need to wait until he touches the pitch before we make a decision on him.
