Transfer interest is building around Maximiliano Araujo, with Man Utd understood to be weighing-up a move for the Sporting forward. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Chelsea are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. At 1.76 goals scored per game this season, Man Utd already pose a big threat. Maximiliano Araujo would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Reports suggest Man Utd are monitoring Exequiel Palacios, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Gregor Kobel whereas Sporting have not been associated with other players at this stage.
