PSG likes to draw on Benfica Lisbon in recent years. Gonçalo Ramos in the summer of 2023, João Neves last summer, and soon Tomas Araujo? The 22-year-old defender has entered the sights of Paris Saint-Germain, as explained by the Portuguese press in recent months. And the newspaper Record ensures that the Ile-de-France club is still on the ball.
Because Araujo has established himself as a starter this season, to the detriment of Antonio Silva, another great Portuguese hope, who should also be lined up this evening with the Portuguese selection alongside… Tomas Araujo. The latter should indeed experience his first selection with the A team against Croatia. And thus continue to increase its rating in the transfer window.
The clause or nothing
As explained RecordBenfica has no intention of selling its new starter in central defense this winter, unless a club lifts the release clause, which amounts to €100 million. PSG, for its part, is already looking for a new center, anticipating the possible departure of Milan Skriniar, whom Juventus Turin hopes to welcome in January.
The Araujo file seems a little complex for the winter transfer window but PSG is determined to attract him next summer. He will have to face competition from Premier League clubs, but he can count on his good relations with the Lisbon club, which has already recovered €125 million (without bonuses) thanks to the sales of Gonçalo Ramos and João Neves.
