Araújo is out, Benfica tell him to find a new club | OneFootball

Benfica continue to make adjustments to the squad for the new season, and there is another player developed at Seixal who could be living his final days wearing the eagle on his chest - as is the case with Kevin Pinto. After several loan spells and opportunities to relaunch his career, the situation has changed drastically this summer.

The player in question is Henrique Araújo, a striker who is not in Marco Silva’s plans for pre-season. The Benfica coach chose not to call up the Portugal youth international for the preparation work, a decision that ultimately opened the door to a possible permanent departure.

Given this stance from Benfica’s hierarchy, the forward was informed that he should look for a new club to continue his career. Since then, Henrique Araújo has been assessing various options, looking to find a project that will allow him to play regularly again and regain a leading role.

Although there is interest in the market, negotiations have not been simple. One of the main obstacles concerns the player’s salary conditions, as few clubs are willing to cover the amounts the striker currently earns at Benfica.

As such, everything indicates that the link between Henrique Araújo and Benfica is getting closer and closer to coming to an end, while the Eagles continue to reshape the squad for the 2026/27 season.
