Paris Saint-Germain continues to eye Benfica’s talents. This time, it is Tomas Araujo, a 22-year-old Portuguese central defender, who is stirring up envy. The player, currently under contract with the Lisbon club until 2028, has a release clause set at 100 million euros, an amount which could complicate negotiations.
A meteoric rise for Araujo
Starting this season with Benfica, Tomas Araujo has taken precedence over Antonio Silva, the club’s other great hope. His remarkable performance earned him a probable first selection with the Portuguese national team against Croatia. This growing visibility on the international scene only increases his value in the transfer market.
PSG ready to wait?
According to information from Record, Benfica does not wish to part with its central defender this winter, unless a club decides to lift his release clause. PSG, although interested, could postpone its offensive until next summer, especially since the Parisian club seems to be prioritizing the recruitment of an attacker or a full-back this winter. However, with already strong relations between Paris and Lisbon, as evidenced by the successful transfers of Gonçalo Ramos and João Neves, a long-term deal cannot be ruled out.
