Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo has been linked with a move to Juventus during the January transfer window, and Football Espana editor Ruairidh Barlow has shared the latest updates about the player.
Details: According to the source, the Uruguayan defender has already given the green light to a move to Turin. Juventus is pushing for a loan deal until the end of the season, while Barcelona prefers a permanent transfer.
Barcelona will likely have to sell at least two central defenders this winter. One of them is expected to be Eric García, with Andreas Christensen also likely to leave. Araújo might become the third, depending on how negotiations unfold.
The situation is further complicated by Barcelona reportedly nearing an agreement to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. Some see Tah as a potential replacement for Araújo, but much depends on the outcome of ongoing talks.
Background: Earlier reports suggested that Joan Laporta had issued specific demands to Frenkie de Jong and Araújo if they wish to remain at Barcelona.
