New updates on Henrique Araújo’s future at Benfica | OneFootball

Vitória de Guimarães is interested in signing Henrique Araújo. The information was reported by the website Mais Futebol, stating that the Minho club is closely monitoring the situation of the Benfica player. The team from Guimarães sees the young player as an excellent market opportunity to strengthen their attack during this winter transfer window.

Vitória de Guimarães wants Henrique Araújo

The interest from the Conquistadores is explained by the uncertainty surrounding Nélson Oliveira. Interestingly, the former Benfica player’s contract ends at the end of the season and his future remains uncertain. The Vitória board is looking to safeguard against a possible departure, identifying the number 39 as the ideal profile to succeed the experienced veteran.

Benfica is willing to negotiate the player on a permanent transfer in this transfer window. As reported exclusively by Glorioso 1904, the structure led by Rui Costa is not putting any obstacles in the way of selling the player’s rights. The Benfica board aims to find a financial solution that satisfies all parties involved.

Benfica wants a permanent deal

The player is not part of José Mourinho’s plans and is unhappy at Luz. The forward expected to have more opportunities in the first team, but his playing time has been limited under the current coach. His dissatisfaction with the lack of minutes is driving an urgent search for a project where he can play regularly.

This season, playing for Benfica, Henrique Araújo — valued at 2 million euros — has played only 11 official matches: five in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Super Cup, and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 135 minutes he was on the pitch, the forward did not score or assist any goals.
