Recent reports state that Arsenal have made enquiries for Maximiliano Araújo. Sporting CP do not have an urgent need to sell, as Araújo's contract is valid until 2029 and includes a £70 million release clause. Reports also suggest that Sporting could be persuaded to enter into talks for a lower offer, potentially in the range of €50 million to €60 million, although they are not under significant pressure to sell due to his long-term contract.

Sporting CP's Uruguayan defender Maximiliano Araújo is a target for Arsenal and Manchester United. The two Premier League clubs have made enquiries for the 26-year-old. Araújo has a £70 million release clause in his contract, but it is believed both clubs will seek to sign him for a lower fee.
