Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo amid his links with Juventus.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Arsenal will submit an offer to sign 25-year-old Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, and the Uruguayan international is on the radar of Italian giants Juventus as well.
Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to sanction his departure. They have offered extensions to the Uruguay international for months, but he is yet to commit his long-term future to the club. Barcelona could be under pressure to cash in on him. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can get the deal done.
The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world, and he could be an exceptional acquisition for the North London club. Arsenal have a formidable squad, and they have been pushing for the title in the last couple of seasons. They will look to go all the way and win major trophies consistently. The Gunners need top-quality players at their disposal and Araujo would be an exceptional acquisition.
The 25-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could establish himself as a player for Arsenal. He is versatile enough to operate as a central defender as well as a right-back. The Uruguayan international could be an asset for Mikel Arteta if Arsenal can get the deal done.
Juventus keen on Araujo
Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world as well, and the opportunity to join them could be exciting for the South American defender. The Serie A giants have not been at their best in recent seasons, and they will look to get back to the top of Italian football once again. They need to bring in quality players to overtake the likes of Inter Milan and Napoli.
Signing a top-class defender like Araujo would be a wise decision. He will help them tighten up defensively. The 25-year-old will look to join a big club if he leaves Barcelona, and the likes of Arsenal and Juventus will be attractive destinations for him. It remains to be seen where he ends up.
