Maxi Araújo, born on 15 February 2000 (age 26), is a Uruguay international who plays primarily on the left wing for Sporting CP. His current market value is around £14.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Toluca in 2022-23, when he scored six goals in 17 appearances. That spell gave him a clearer attacking profile before his move into European football with Sporting CP.
In 2026-27, Araújo remains involved in Sporting’s first-team picture. He has made 12 appearances across all competitions for the club, scoring twice, with most of that work coming in the Champions League, where he has featured 11 times.
He has also remained active with Uruguay, making three World Cup appearances and scoring twice, alongside 15 appearances in South American World Cup qualifying. His career is still taking shape, but he is already established across club and international football.
