Manchester United target Ronald Araujo

Manchester United are interested in signing Ronald Araujo from Barcelona in the summer transfer window, according to Fichajes. The report has revealed that Man Utd are ‘willing to make a powerful offer’ for the defender, who they see as ‘an ideal leader to strengthen an erratic defence’.

However, Man Utd are facing competition in their hunt for Araujo. Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Serie A powerhouse Juventus are also said to be interested in a summer deal for the 26-year-old, who can operate as a central defender or as a right-back.

Barcelona are reportedly ready to sell Araujo in the summer transfer window and are looking for €50 million for him. The Uruguay international defender has been on the books of Barca since 2018 when he joined from Boston River and is under contract at the La Liga club until the summer of 2031. Araujo has scored 10 goals and made seven assists in 173 appearances for Barcelona so far in his career.
