La Gazzetta dello Sport has revealed a major surprise, confirming that Ronald Araujo has agreed to move to a new club this winter.
Earlier, the newspaper reported that Juventus were interested in Araujo, but ruled out the deal due to the high financial consideration Barcelona was asking for, and the player’s expected desire to continue.
However, the latest news indicates that Araujo said yes to Juventus’ offer, and is open to moving to the Bianconeri in January.
Araujo is looking to play regularly and fears that this will not happen in Barcelona, so he is looking for a club that guarantees this, and the option of moving to Juventus has greatly interested him.
It cannot be confirmed that the Uruguayan international will definitely move to Juve, especially since the renewal negotiations with Barcelona are ongoing and are said to be in advanced stages.
As for Barcelona, the club is not open to the idea of loaning Araujo in January, but it is not unlikely that the situation will change due to the player’s high salary, which, if he is removed from the accounts, will allow the Catalan club to conclude new deals.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona set 80 million euros last summer to accept the departure of Araujo, but the fact that his contract expires in 2026 will make this value decrease next summer if they decide to sell him.
