Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Bayern want Tomás Araújo for €30m, Benfica news | OneFootball

Glorioso 1904 knows, exclusively, that Bayern Munich have made no concrete approach for Tomás Araújo, despite reports suggesting a possible move by the Germans for the Benfica defender. The centre-back is indeed being monitored by the Bavarian giants, but there is currently no offer or negotiation underway.

on the possibility of one of the current centre-backs in Bayern’s squad leaving before any move is made.

The reality, according to what our newspaper has learned, is different from a concrete approach. Bayern are keeping tabs on the Portugal international and have identified the player, but they have not contacted Benfica to begin negotiations nor submitted any formal offer.

The situation is particularly significant because Tomás Araújo recently renewed his contract with Benfica until 2031, showing the Eagles’ confidence in the centre-back developed at Seixal. Bayern’s interest, therefore, should at this stage be seen as monitoring rather than an operation in motion. The Germans have the player on their list of potential future targets, but they have not yet taken any concrete step with Benfica’s hierarchy.

Reports coming out of Germany point precisely to a conditional scenario: Bayern are only expected to consider a move if they can free up space in central defence, with Hiroki Ito and Min-jae Kim named as possible departures. Tomás Araújo therefore remains focused on Benfica and keeps an important role in Marco Silva’s team. In the clássico against Porto, the centre-back started and played the full 90 minutes, despite the 3-1 defeat at the Dragão.
