According to well-known journalist Romano, Chelsea is keeping an eye on Benfica defender Araujo, but no offer has been made yet.
Reporter Romano reported that Chelsea has included Benfica defender Thomas Araujo on their shortlist of signings in case a defender leaves the team in the last few days before the transfer window closes.
There has been no offer yet, but Araujo is very much appreciated, as reported by CNN Portugal.
If Skriniar accepts Riyadh Victory's offer, Paris Saint-Germain also hopes to bring in Araujo.
The 22-year-old Thomas Araujo is currently worth 7 million euros. Last season, he played 20 times for Benfica in all competitions, including 7 starts and scored 1 goal.
