He’s already been offered! Portugal defender a topic at Bayern | OneFootball

Many names are currently being linked with FC Bayern. No wonder, as the record champions are trying to clarify their personnel planning as early as possible. A defender has now been offered to FCB

There are currently many players Bayern are flirting with, particularly in the defensive area. One name that is now becoming more concrete again is that of Tomas Araujo. The 24-year-old central defender currently plays for Benfica

As Florian Plettenberg revealed in the transfer update on Sky, Araujo is a name that is being looked at, partly because he would like to leave Benfica and take the next step

From the player’s side, the market is currently being sounded out and Araujo has also been offered to FC Bayern as part of this. The idea of signing him has not been rejected in Munich, but they also know that he will only become an issue in central defense when a player moves

Min-jae Kim and Hiroki Ito are the candidates who are likely to move, although no concrete offers have yet been made for either of them. According to Plettenberg, Araujo would score points above all because he is slightly cheaper than some of the other players who have been traded, both in terms of transfer fee and salary

Nevertheless, the Portuguese is regarded as a very good defender who played 39 competitive games for Benfica in the season just ended. He can play not only in the center but also at right back

However, it is unclear whether Araujo will be Bayern’s number one target if he does indeed leave. Players such as Yann Bisseck (Inter) have also been linked with the record champions. Meanwhile, the trail to full-back Sergino Dest is completely cold, according to Plettenberg.
