Overview
- Scouts from Chelsea and Tottenham watched Maxi Araujo in Sporting’s Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal on Tuesday.
- Both clubs have contacted the Uruguay international’s representatives, according to reports relayed by Sport Witness, Yahoo Sports, and CaughtOffside.
- Araujo plays both left-back and left wing and has 10 goal contributions this season, which fits teams seeking flexibility on the left flank.
- Coverage to date points to scouting and initial contact rather than formal negotiations or bids.
- Reports cite a £69 million release clause in his Sporting contract, though several outlets suggest Sporting could accept a lower fee.
