Tomás Araújo, 22-year-old central defender from Benfica under contract until 2029 following an extension last December, was announced among Paris Saint-Germain's targets for the end of the 2024 summer transfer window. PSG Inside Act assures that this is still a target for this winter. Discussions would even be launched.
“Tomás Araujo seems to be the center of attention at PSG for this winter transfer window. The player is said to be in favor of a transfer, but Benfica is reluctant to let him leave. These hesitations could complicate negotiations, although the player's determination and the Parisian club's continued interest are factors that could weigh in favor of an agreement.
Intensive discussions are underway, but everything will depend on PSG's ability to convince Benfica, whether with an attractive financial offer or other guarantees. »
He is an excellent player, who seems destined to establish himself at the highest level over many years, and it would be logical for PSG to seek to recruit in this position (departure of Milan Skriniar and search of a competitor/the next generation for Marquinhos). So it is quite possible that Paris will indeed try its luck for Araújo.
However, agreement is far from certain. Benfica will not easily let go of such a player, who appeals to many clubs. Especially since he has just extended, enough to give you peace of mind in the negotiations. Without forgetting that the Portuguese does not necessarily want to leave. PSG could well focus on other options. But you never know, football knows how to surprise. Particularly during the transfer window.
