Araújo to bid farewell to Benfica, already knows his next club | OneFootball

Henrique Araújo is very close to leaving Benfica for good. The Portuguese forward, who was left out of pre-season preparations by Marco Silva’s decision, has reportedly already given the green light to join Casa Pia. The Portugal Under-21 international accepted the Geese’s proposal and is preparing to sign a permanent deal.

According to Record, the signing of Henrique Araújo was a direct request from Filipe Coelho, Casa Pia’s coach, who sees the 24-year-old striker as a reinforcement capable of adding quality to the Lisbon side’s attack.

The departure began to gather momentum after Marco Silva chose not to call up the attacker for preparations for the new season. Out of the Benfica coach’s plans, the player was informed that he should look for a solution to continue his career.

Since then, the forward has considered several options, prioritizing a project that would guarantee him greater competitive regularity and the opportunity to revive his career. In that regard, Casa Pia convinced the player, who believes he has found the ideal setting to take on a leading role again.

Everything therefore indicates that Henrique Araújo will bring his link with Benfica to an end, in a transfer that should be made official in the coming days. Like Araújo, Rafael Luís has also been told to look for another team.
