Over the course of the past few years, Barcelona has encountered a great deal of difficulty when it comes to spending actual money during the transfer windows. Instead, they have been forced to rely on younger players, some of whom are now not only the vital members of the club but also among the most talented players in their respective positions.
There are players like Gavi and Pedri who have already been awarded the Golden Boy award and are unquestionable starts for both their club and their country. Alejandro Balde, on the other hand, has swiftly established himself as one of the greatest left-backs in his position.
There is also a particular Ronald Araujo on this list. He is widely regarded as one of the top center backs in the world, if not the best possible center back. In addition to his rise to popularity with Barcelona, the Uruguayan player, who is renowned for his no-nonsense defending and his ability to compete one-on-one, has been on the radar of every other major club.
Bayern Munich comes into view
Bayern Munich has been interested in Araujo for the past two years, despite the fact that it is common knowledge that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool were among the clubs who were interested in signing him during the summer of 2021, when his contract extension came into question.
According to the information that was provided by Florian Plettenberg, Bayern reportedly continues to keep the 24-year-old player on their radar and has once again inquired about the possibility of signing him. Thomas Tuchel is a supporter of the player and is an advocate for the team to acquire his services.
In addition, Araujo has provided a satisfactory response to the inquiry, and he is not yet reluctant to relocate.
Madrid is interested in extending his current contract.
Nevertheless, Barcelona is Araujo’s top priority, and the club has no intention of selling him off in the near future under any circumstances. Because they believe he is one of the most important members of the team, they have appointed him as the third-choice captain of the team for the upcoming summer.
Given that Araujo’s contract was signed in 2021, one of the most important things for the Blaugranes to do is to extend it beyond the year 2026. In the next months, they will work on the new deal, and they intend to give the player with a better wage so that they can recognize their efforts.
The combination of this and the fact that he already has a release clause for one billion euros makes him an unattainable goal for Bayern. This was also the case with Takehiro Tomiyasu of Arsenal and Raphael Varane of Manchester United.
