Chelsea is preparing a XXL offer for two Benfica stars

Chelsea is preparing a significant offer of 100 million euros to sign two of the most promising defenders from Benfica, Antonio Silva and Tomás Araujo, in an attempt to strengthen their defensive line for the future.

The Blues' board sees this Portuguese duo as a key opportunity to rejuvenate and enhance their defensive squad, surpassing Premier League rivals like Manchester United and Arsenal who have also shown interest in both players.

Antonio Silva and Tomás Araujo on Chelsea's Radar

-Antonio Silva: The 20-year-old center-back has quickly established himself as a crucial figure in both Benfica and the Portuguese national team, renowned for his solidity and world-class potential. Chelsea, aiming to bring in young quality talent, is willing to invest heavily in him, especially considering recent disappointments with their current defenders Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi, whose performances have been critically evaluated by the club.

-Tomás Araujo: On the other hand, the 22-year-old Portuguese defender is still in the developmental stage and has already started to earn minutes in Benfica's first team. Although he hasn't debuted for the national team yet, his potential has not gone unnoticed. With a market value lower than Silva's, Araujo represents an attractive investment for Chelsea, aiming to expand their pool of young defenders with long-term potential.

Competition for these players will be tough as other English clubs are also monitoring their progress. However, with a substantial offer, Chelsea could take the lead and secure Silva and Araujo in a move that would revamp their defense.
