Chelsea are said to be interested in Benfica's young defensive pair, Antonio Silva and Tomas Araujo, as potential recruits to bolster their defense. According to Simon Phillips, the futures of both Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi at Chelsea are uncertain as the club considers Silva and Araujo. Silva is regarded as a particularly promising young talent who could be attracted to Chelsea's youth project, which offers numerous playing opportunities and the chance to develop and grow within a long-term strategy.
