Tomás Araújo is a 24-year-old Portuguese central defender who plays for SL Benfica and has 6 caps for Portugal. His name was considered by Milan during the most recent summer and was reportedly proposed by Jorge Mendes. The club, however, ultimately decided to pursue other options.
Araújo is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2031 and has a current market value of €30.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Real Madrid and FC Bayern München were also linked with the player. Reports from June 2026 suggested a potential asking price from Benfica of around €40 million.
