Araujo would like to go to Juventus NOW

In July Ronald Araujo injured the hamstring in his right leg. He had to undergo surgery and lost the continuity he had been enjoying with Barcelona. He was already more than established as a starter under Xavi Hernandez and, on his return this season, Hansi Flick has not given him a similar role, at least not yet.

In his press conference before the Spanish Super Cup final, however, the coach defended that he is counting on him. The problem is that the Uruguayan has other plans. 'Mundo Deportivo' reports that he has been asked in the dressing room if it is true that he wants to go to Juventus and he has answered yes to everyone, from teammates to members of the coaching staff.

At the moment, what has been leaked about his desire is that the Montjuïc board has rejected an offer of 35 million euros. Matteo Moretto claims that another meeting is scheduled for next week. The newspaper mentioned in the previous paragraph puts the possible sale of the centre-back at 70 million euros, but the ‘Relevo’ journalist understands that the Catalans would be satisfied with 50.

If Ronald Araujo can get Barcelona to transfer him, he will have to compete with Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu for a place in Thiago Motta's defensive midfield. The Frenchman's place seems the most accessible because he is on loan from Milan in Turin, while the Italian has been a permanent fixture since 2022, when he arrived from Frosinone.
