The future of Ronald Araujo remains uncertain at this moment. The 25-year-old defender has caught the attention of Juventus, who are eager to secure the Uruguayan center-back.
Araujo himself is reportedly keen on a move to Turin, where he would be offered favorable individual contract terms. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona is trying to persuade him to stay at Camp Nou, especially since Inigo Martinez has been sidelined for several weeks due to an injury.
It remains to be seen what decision the 20-time Uruguayan international will ultimately make. Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed new insights regarding Araujo’s potential move to Juventus. According to the Italian journalist, the Bianconeri are willing to pay around 50 million euros for the 192-centimeter-tall defender. Initially, a loan move was discussed, but now a permanent transfer is on the table.
The central defender joined Barcelona’s academy in 2018 and was promoted to the first team two years later. So far, Araujo has made 152 appearances for the Blaugrana, scoring 8 goals and providing 6 assists.
The current central defensive duo in Hansi Flick’s team is Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez, although it is worth noting that the latter is currently sidelined due to injury.
