Benfica formalized the renewal of Tomás Araújo's contract for two more seasons, extending the centre-back's link to the club until 2031. The 24-year-old, born in Minho, thus celebrated a decade of connection to the Luz emblem, receiving an important vote of confidence from the Eagles' board. The new contract represents a clear signal of the importance that Tomás Araújo has gained in the squad, establishing himself as one of the main references in the team's defensive line.
The renewal also includes a significant salary increase. According to what newspaper Record learned, Tomás Araújo will now earn around 2 million euros net per season. The release clause remains unchanged, set at 80 million euros, a value that reflects the club's investment in the player.
Tomás Araújo's last renewal had taken place in 2024, at a time when the defender still didn't have the prominence he currently displays. Since then, the Portuguese international has been progressively gaining ground in the team and establishing himself as one of the pillars of the Eagles' defense.
