Barcelona agrees to sell Araujo to a major European giant to sign the young Premier League bombshell
Juventus have made an unexpected change to their coaching staff with the arrival of Igor Tudor as their new coach. After the dismissal of Thiago Motta , who failed to meet the club’s expectations, the Vecchia Signora board has placed its trust in the Croatian coach to lead the new project.
Having just landed in Turin, Tudor has made clear his priority in the transfer market , and one of the names he is most excited about is Ronald Araujo . The Uruguayan central defender from FC Barcelona is the Croatian’s number one target to strengthen Juventus’ defense for next season.
Araujo, Tudor’s big wish for Juventus
The new Juve coach wants to strengthen the team’s backline , and for this he considers Araujo to be the perfect profile . The Barça central defender, with his strength, speed and leadership ability , has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world in recent years.
However, his future at Barça is not assured. Despite being a key player for the team, the Catalan club’s financial situation makes a significant offer for him difficult to refuse .
Juventus know that signing Araujo will not be easy, but they are willing to try. In Turin they believe that the Uruguayan can be the cornerstone on which to build the team’s defense in the coming years.
Barça, open to negotiations
FC Barcelona , for their part, do not rule out the possibility of selling Araujo if a significant offer comes in. Although the Uruguayan is a fundamental player in the squad, the need to make money to improve the club’s financial situation could open the door to negotiations.
In addition, Deco, Barça’s sporting director, has already identified a possible replacement in case Araujo leaves: Dean Huijsen , a young central defender from Bournemouth, who has surprised everyone with his performance and who could arrive for a figure close to 50 million euros .
Will Araujo wear Bianconero?
For now, Juventus has not presented a formal offer, but everything indicates that in the coming weeks they could make a serious move to try to convince both Barça and the player.
Araujo, for his part, has always expressed his desire to remain at Barça , but if the Blaugrana club decides to sell him and Juventus offers him an attractive contract, he could reconsider his future.
The transfer market promises to be full of emotions, and the possibility of seeing Araujo in Serie A is a real option. Juventus love their new defensive leader, and Barcelona could be willing to listen to the offer.
