"Tomás has qualities that modern coaches look for, because many teams today play with a very high defensive line, especially clubs like Barcelona, Barat told Romano."
"A centre-back by trade, Araujo has become a key presence in the Benfica defence, impressing onlookers with his athleticism and technical awareness. After making his breakthrough, Araujo has already made 88 competitive appearances for the Eagles. He also has one cap for the Portuguese national team."
"While it remains to be seen whether or not Barcelona join the race to sign the Portuguese international, Araujo could certainly be an interesting option for the Blaugrana. He has the technical ability and the pace to become a real asset in Hansi Flick's defensive line, potentially even an upgrade over Ronald Araujo. Indeed, the Benfica star can operate as a right-back whenever required, making him an ideal replacement for Araujo, should Barcelona decide to sell him in the summer."
"I am convinced that many big clubs will be interested in Tomás again in the summer, he said."
Agent Ali Barat describes Tomas Araujo as a centre-back with attributes suited to teams that play a high defensive line, citing Barcelona as an example. Araujo has become a key presence in Benfica's defence through athleticism, technical awareness and pace. He has made 88 competitive appearances for Benfica and holds one cap for Portugal. Barat expects many big clubs to show interest in Araujo next summer. Araujo can also operate as a right-back, offering versatility that could allow him to replace Ronald Araujo if a transfer opportunity arises. A recent survey indicated some Barcelona socios support selling Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong.
