Ronald Araujo reportedly has three offers on the table from Premier League clubs, as Barcelona are still on the fence about his possible sale.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Ronald Araujo has at least three big offers from as many Premier League sides as Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Manchester City. Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Manchester City have all reportedly made proposals for the 25-year-old Barcelona mainstay, with the Catalan side still on the fence about a possible sale.
Ronald Araujo has three Premier League offers
Barcelona have not given any indication they are ready to sell star defender Ronaldo Araujo despite many clubs courting his services. The Catalans are under serious financial pressure, and a few big sales would help them ease through the problems little by little.
The story insists that the 25-year-old Barcelona mainstay has at least three big offers from the likes of Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Manchester City. Whether that is enough to tempt Barcelona to think about the defender’s sale remains to be seen, although things have not looked good in the background.
While Araujo seems committed to staying at the Catalan side, a big offer could sway both the player and Barcelona into considering a transfer. Manchester United are keen and willing to double the defender’s wages should he join them, as Erik ten Hag continues to look for a top-notch centre-back. Matthijs De Ligt is also a big target, but the Uruguayan might get the preference if he becomes available.
Manchester City are always looking for the best talents and could make a compelling offer to bring the Barcelona man. Similarly, Newcastle United are embarking on an exciting project. Still, there are doubts about whether the PSR restrictions allow them enough space to make a significant transfer like that of the Uruguayan.
Will Barcelona sell Araujo?
Financial pressure has made Barcelona do strange things, and if they sell Araujo, it would not come as a surprise. While he remains one of their prized assets, the club reportedly would prefer to sell other stars before they offload the Uruguayan.
Another report back in May claimed that contract talks with Araujo had stalled, which may be indicative of Barcelona’s problems in offering big wages to their top players. All this could come back to haunt them as they might be forced to sell a player of the Uruguayan’s quality, with Premier League sides already lurking about.
