In Italy, it has been revealed that Ronald Araujo has accepted the offer from Juventus. The Uruguayan is seeking continuity in Turin after recovering from his injury
After 182 days on the sidelines, Ronald Araujo returned to the pitch in the rout of FC Barcelona against Barbastro. The Uruguayan experienced a true 'calvary' in recent months while recovering from his injury to the hamstring tendon of his right thigh, and amid this process, doubts about his future at the blue and garnet entity have skyrocketed.
With a contract until 2026, negotiations for his renewal remain stalled despite the club's growing optimism about his continuity. The Uruguayan is closely followed by several of the top clubs in Europe, who are waiting for the player's green light to launch their bid for his signing.
At Can Barça, on the other hand, they would be willing to part with the center-back if he decides not to extend his bond with the institution, as long as they receive a significant offer. The Catalans need to lighten the salary mass of the squad to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor and to enter the market in search of reinforcements, and 'Gazzetta dello Sport' has reported that Juventus wants to take advantage of this situation to 'bring home the bacon'.
Araujo would have said 'yes' to Juventus
The 'bianconeri' have suffered the losses of Bremer and Cabal in the center of defense, so they are looking to strengthen the position and Araujo would be the chosen one. In that sense, the aforementioned source claims that the Uruguayan has already accepted the offer from the Italians, as he seeks the continuity that in the Catalan City, due to the consolidation of the duo Cubarsí-Iñigo Martínez, is not guaranteed.
The blaugranas, for their part, hope to make a 'killing' from this transfer to boost their finances, so the sale of the defender is not completely ruled out. Furthermore, the South American's statements after the match against Barbastro ("Will I stay 100% at Barça? We are talking, let's see how the matter progresses") leave his stay at the club more uncertain than ever, so everything points to a 'soap opera' about to begin.
