Sources: Benfica interest in Chelsea player could open another door

This interest is legit

There’s been a few whispers around this possible story sparking up over the weekend, and having checked in, we can confirm it is a legit story.

There are many situations that can still be linked and can still develop at Chelsea during the remaining weeks of the transfer window, and there might still be some opportunities open up for some unofficial swap deals.

There aren’t many Benfica players that Chelsea are currently interested in, but as reported yesterday, there has been some new internal discussions around shortlisted centre back Tomas Araujo, and whether he might be a player they look to approach. No contact yet, just weighing up some interest. But could that soon change with this latest news?
