Chelsea Set to Push for Crystal Palace, PSG Transfer Target as Axel Disasi Replacement

As the summer transfer window wound down, Paris Saint-Germain made a late effort to bolster their defense but faced significant hurdles in securing their target. If they revisit this pursuit, they’ll have stiff competition.

In August, L’Équipe’s Loïc Tanzi reported that PSG had offered Tomás Araújo a €5 million annual contract. However, the move depended on offloading a center-back first.

Meanwhile, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano highlighted Chelsea’s interest in Araújo. While the Blues didn’t submit a formal bid, they considered the 22-year-old a solid option if they offloaded a defender in the final days of the window.

Ultimately, Benfica held onto Araújo. Romano noted that the Portuguese club was hesitant to let him go after already losing several players earlier in the summer.
