Barcelona Sets Condition for Araujo's Juventus Move
Barcelona will only negotiate Ronald Araujo's transfer to Juventus if the defender formally requests to leave, as Juventus seeks defensive reinforcements.
Barcelona has clarified their stance regarding the potential transfer of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo to Juventus. While the Italian club is keen to strengthen their defensive lineup, Barcelona has stated they will consider the move only if Araujo explicitly expresses his desire to leave.
Juventus has identified Araujo as a key target to address their defensive vulnerabilities, particularly after a series of injuries impacted their squad. Reports suggest that the Turin-based club is preparing an attractive financial package for both Barcelona and Araujo. However, Barcelona remains adamant about retaining their star defender, who is under contract until 2026 and is considered a cornerstone of their backline.
Araujo has recently returned to full fitness after recovering from a muscle injury and has been pivotal in Barcelona’s defensive stability. Speaking about his future, Araujo confirmed ongoing discussions regarding a contract extension with the club, expressing optimism about reaching a renewed agreement. "I am very happy here, and I hope to continue contributing to the team," Araujo said in a recent interview.
Barcelona views Araujo as an integral part of their plans and is unlikely to entertain offers unless the player formally requests a transfer. This strategic approach reflects the club’s commitment to building a strong and consistent squad for domestic and European competitions. On the other hand, Juventus is determined to bolster their defensive options and plans to initiate formal discussions with both Barcelona and Araujo's representatives after the conclusion of the Spanish Super Cup.
The outcome of this transfer saga will likely depend on Araujo's personal decision and the financial terms presented. For now, Barcelona remains focused on their immediate objectives, including the Spanish Super Cup, while Juventus works to address their defensive challenges ahead of a demanding schedule in Serie A and European fixtures.
