Reports | Araujo leaves Barcelona next week.. and this is his next destination

Beware that there may be a Ronald Araujo case . The Uruguayan centre-back, who returned to the pitch six months later, ends his contract with FC Barcelona in the summer of 2026 and could be open to leaving the Blaugrana club in the face of the promotion of Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez . This is what Italian media are saying on Tuesday, confirming that the Uruguayan footballer has given the green light to his signing for Juventus .

According to ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, Araujo is reportedly willing to join the team managed by Thiago Motta. The Italian coach is looking to receive a belated Christmas present with the signing of the Uruguayan, who would replace the injured Bremer and Cabal , as well as Danilo, who is leaving on a free transfer.

The formula that “Vecchia Signora” wants to find is a paid loan with an obligation to buy. Even the club itself has said that Cristiano Giuntoli , the sporting director of the Turin team, would like this to happen as soon as possible, even before next week. Hence the intensified contacts.

One of the advantages that the Uruguayan has is that he has a Spanish passport, an important detail, since Juventus do not have a place for non-EU players. The Turin team is also interested in David Hancko , but one operation does not overshadow the other.

Araujo was not clear about his renewal

This theory is fuelled by the Uruguayan’s statements after the match against Barbastro, when he was not categorical about his renewal: “We are talking to the club about my renewal, but I am focused on playing again and getting minutes,” he commented on SER.
