Man United, Chelsea, Spurs battle looms for €80 million sensation | OneFootball

Maxi Araujo is expected to be on the move at the end of the season, and the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are interested in securing his signature.

The 26-year-old South American has been an important player for Sporting CP this season. There is no doubt he could be an excellent addition for the three Premier League clubs. He can operate as a left back as well as a wide player. His ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch makes him a valuable asset. According to a report from MediaFoot, he could cost around €80 million.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester United follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player. Araujo could be the ideal long-term alternative to Luke Shaw. He could prove to be an interesting acquisition for the Red Devils if they manage to get the deal done. They have the resources to pay a premium, but it seems unlikely they will pay €80 million for a left-back.

Sporting CP will have to be more reasonable with their demands.

Chelsea will need to add more depth in that area of the pitch as well. The 26-year-old Uruguayan International has shown his quality in Portugal, and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well. He could be a very useful addition for the London club.

Araujo could compete with Marc Cucurella for the starting spot.

Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie could be on his way back to Italy in the summer, and Tottenham will have to replace him properly. The 26-year-old could be the ideal replacement for the Italian defender.
