Chelsea exploring potential move for Benfica center-back before upcoming deadline

The Blues have been dedicated to securing top-tier talent in all positions this summer through their rigorous recruitment efforts.

While a lot of their focus this week is on outgoing moves, The Mirror states that Araujo is the subject of interest.

The 22-year-old Portuguese defender is one who the Blues believe can become an immediate starter.

Paris Saint-Germain have also been keeping tabs on his situation, as they seek to move on from Milan Skriniar.

Benfica have already worked with PSG this summer, selling them Joao Neves.
