Chelsea have begun discussions with center-backs they are keen on signing for the next season. Tomás Araújo is one of the players on their radar. Chelsea had evaluated him during the summer transfer window, but a transfer did not materialize because Benfica were not ready to sell. Clubs had been informed they needed to trigger his release clause, which is said to be valued at €100 million. Chelsea continue to keep a close watch on the center-back market and have expressed interest in Araújo.
