The Uruguayan center-back is one of the players FC Barcelona might end up selling this summer.
Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea have set their sights on Uruguayan center-back Ronald Araujo, whose value is estimated at 100 million euros.
FC Barcelona is actively seeking to generate revenue to address its difficult financial situation, and selling Araujo could be one of the key operations to achieve this.
Barcelona finds itself at a crossroads with an overabundance of central defenders for the upcoming season, making it inevitable that some players will leave to balance the squad and the club’s finances. Among the names on the list of potential departures is Araujo.
The 3 clubs that want to sign Ronald Araujo:
Manchester United: Manchester United is interested in Araujo to strengthen their defensive rotation, especially following the injury to Lisandro Martinez that have impacted the team this season, and the fact that Raphael Varane is leaving the club.
Chelsea: Chelsea sees the Uruguayan as an ideal replacement for Thiago Silva, who will leave the club as a free agent this summer.
Bayern Munich: Bayern Munich has also shown interest in Araujo in the past and plans to make another attempt in the upcoming transfer market. The Germans believe the Uruguayan defender could add quality and depth to their defensive line and are prepared to make a new bid for him.
With Araujo being a coveted piece in the market, Barcelona hopes to obtain a significant amount of money from his transfer, which will help alleviate their financial problems and allow for the necessary restructuring of the team for the next season.
