Arthur Cabral

Arthur Cabral's move to Botafogo in June 2025 began in the north-east of Brazil, at Ceará, where he won back-to-back editions of the Campeonato Cearense before Palmeiras signed him in 2018. A loan to Basel turned permanent, and by 2021 Cabral had been named the Credit Suisse Super League's Player of the Year, a season in which he also scored seven times in the Europa League group stage — a fee reported between €14 million and €16 million for him in January 2022. In Florence he was joint top scorer of the 2022–23 Europa Conference League with seven goals, helping the club reach the final. He moved to Benfica in August 2023 for €20 million plus add-ons. He won a Taça da Liga in 2024–25, though Benfica finished runners-up in the league in both his campaigns and lost the Taça de Portugal final as well; he had already left the club by the time it won the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira in 2025. Cabral has not featured for Brazil's senior side, though he was capped twice by the under-23 team in 2019.
