Tomás Araújo, Benfica’s 22-year-old central defender under contract until 2029 following an extension last December, was announced as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s targets for the end of the 2024 summer mercato, and the rumor returned for the winter. Foot Mercato assures us that this is still the case..
“Info FM: What’s the latest on Tomás Araújo?
SL Benfica defender still on PSG’s target list
no offer made to date
Liverpool and Chelsea are also on the lookout following the failure of the Dean Huijsen deal

Big competition!
“PSG are still looking for a right-handed central defender capable of doubling Marquinhos’ position. We can confirm the latest reports in the Portuguese press, namely that the Famalicão native is still on PSG’s target list, although no concrete offer has yet been made.
According to our indiscretions, in addition to PSG, Liverpool and Chelsea are also on the lookout.”
It’s important to be cautious when dealing with rumours. There’s nothing concrete, not even a possible offer. So we’re a long way from a transfer, and maybe there won’t be anything more.
But Araujo is a very interesting defender who could fit in perfectly with the project and the game, so an interest is quite conceivable. We’ll have to wait and see whether this avenue becomes more concrete, as there are plenty of other options open to us. These include a transfer to another club, such as Liverpool or Chelsea.
