Bayern have Benfica's Tomás Araújo on their shortlist as a potential replacement for Kim Min-Jae, per BILD's latest report.

The Bavarian club would be willing to sell the Korean defender should a suitable offer arrive over the summer.

However, Araújo is under a lengthy contract at Benfica which runs until 2029, so he wouldn't come at a cheap price.

For now, Bayern will wait and see how Kim is faring in the coming weeks - but in the case of a departure, Araújo would be a serious option.

The 23-year-old enjoyed a fine campaign in Liga Portugal last season, featuring in 28 games whilst finding the net once and providing 2 assists.
