Henrique Araújo may leave Benfica in January, as his future is being analyzed based on available options and the needs of coach José Mourinho and the club's SAD. The 23-year-old continues to attract national and international interest and, after several loans, he intends to make a secure career move, either through a new loan or a definitive departure. With a contract with Benfica until June 2027, Araújo will need Benfica's authorization to move, which may require financial compensation and the club's protection of future interests. Benfica is not expected to prevent his departure but will want to safeguard their interests, potentially by keeping a percentage of his rights or adding other benefits in the contract clauses. According to A BOLA, several options exist, with more than one possibility being studied in foreign leagues.

Henrique Araújo is not in Benfica's plans for the next season. Benfica wants to loan him out or sell him permanently, reserving a percentage of the rights.

In the following season, 2023/2024, and without the possibility of staying in the squad, Famalicão. 19 games and zero goals is a poor record, which can be justified by a style of play more suitable for Jhonder Cádiz or by a serious injury. But it also raised doubts.
