The newspaper “Sport” reported that the Barcelona administration has changed its previous opinion that Ronald Araujo is untouchable, and is now ready to listen to the offers made regarding him.
According to the report, the main reason for this was what the Uruguayan defender presented during the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Araujo was sent off in the first half of the match, and this had a significant impact on Barcelona in the confrontation, as it caused the team to lose 4-1 and bid farewell to the competition.
Although the Barca administration believes in Araujo’s distinctive potential, after what happened, it does not rule out his departure, considering that it may bring huge millions to the club’s coffers.
Araujo is receiving the attention of many European clubs, led by Bayern Munich, which already tried to include him last January and is willing to pay approximately 80 million euros for him.
This money can be used to make more than one contract, and what is certain now is that the defender has shown that it is possible to live at Camp Nou without him, and thus all parties may profit.
Araujo had previously announced that there were ongoing negotiations between his camp and the Barcelona administration to renew his contract, which extends until the summer of 2026.
