Barcelona reject Juventus' first offer of 35 million for Araujo

Ronald Araujo's future could be far away from Montjuic and Camp Nou. The player, who finishes his contract in 2026, is wanted by Juventus, who have already made an offer to Barcelona for the Uruguayan.

Aware of the need to reinforce the defence, Thiago Motta has asked for the Uruguayan, who for the first time has left the door open to a possible departure.

'Marca' reports that Juventus have put 35 million euros on the table for Barcelona, but that the Cule side have rejected it outright, as they believe it is too little money.

Just a year ago, Bayern Munich were willing to pay up to 100 million euros to sign him, but they also turned it down at that time. Now, after the injury, his price has been devalued.

However, Barcelona want to make a good profit from the sale of the Uruguayan. The source quoted claims that they will not sell Ronald Araujo for less than 70 million euros.

Juventus are willing to improve their initial offer to 50 million euros, a price that, in principle, would be insufficient for the Azulgrana, who have already entered into the 1:1 rule.
