FC Barcelona still does not know what it will do with Ronald Araujo. Now, in the context where the transfer is an option, there is a "top" club that is closely following this situation. Which? We tell you at FCBN
The future of Ronald Araujo at FC Barcelona appears to be increasingly uncertain. Initially, it seemed that all parties, Barça and the player, were aligned to undertake a renewal process.
However, recently, there have been reports suggesting that the native of Rivera could leave the blaugrana team for various reasons. This scenario was further reinforced after the Uruguayan's statements following the match against UD Barbastro (0-4), where he expressed: "To continue 100% at Barça? We are talking, let's see how the situation develops. We hope it can be resolved".
Now, considering that Ronald Araujo is one of the best defenders in the world when in full form, and that his current sporting situation does not reflect his caliber, with the duo Pau Cubarsí - Iñigo Martínez carrying the weight of the defense and Jules Koundé as the owner of the right-back position, it would not be surprising if the Uruguayan is considering a new football destination that offers him more playing time.
In this context, there have been rumors that Juventus is the top favorite to secure the services of Ronald Araujo. It is even said that the 'Vecchia Signora' already has a strategy planned to sign him in this winter transfer window. Additionally, reports from Italy suggest that the '4' in blue and red has given the green light to join the 'Juve', a team with a solid sporting project where he could be a key player, especially given the injuries affecting the Turin club in that area of the field and their excellent sporting performance.
Arsenal is also reportedly interested in signing Ronald Araujo
However, Juventus is not the only club interested in acquiring Ronald Araujo. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, is also keen on adding an extra layer of quality to their defense, which already boasts a leader of William Saliba's stature. Therefore, the 'Gunners' are reportedly willing to enter the race for the Uruguayan.
It will be interesting to see how Arsenal's interest in Araujo unfolds, as well as that of Juventus. Both are top clubs with the financial resources to sign the Uruguayan if Barcelona decides to sell him. In addition, they have attractive sporting projects that Ronald might consider, as they fit the profile of a team that can guarantee him playing time and possess highly competitive squads.
