Juventus, Milan, Chelsea and Atl. Madrid queue for Sporting battler | OneFootball

Sporting may face difficulties in holding on to Maxi Araújo, who has attracted strong interest from several major European clubs due to his performances in the Champions League. In light of this scenario, the Lions’ board is already working on a possible contract renewal.

The green-and-white club’s idea would be to offer an improved salary, even though the player’s current deal runs until June 2029. The intention is to extend his stay at Alvalade by at least one more season.

The consistent performances of the Uruguayan international have increased interest in the market, leading several clubs to monitor him closely on the international stage. Among those interested are clubs such as Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Tottenham, who are said to have sent scouts to watch the player in action at Wembley.

The Sporting full-back was recently included in UEFA’s Team of the Week, recognition that comes despite the home defeat against Arsenal. The distinction rewarded the player’s individual performance, as he was among the most active members of the Lions’ team.

This season for Sporting, Maxi Araújo - valued at €25 million - has made 38 appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the UEFA Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,012 minutes he has been on the pitch, the winger has scored six goals and provided four assists.
