OFFICIAL: Liverpool have signed a star from Barcelona
Liverpool is strengthening its defensive line with one of the most high-profile names on the transfer market.
Details: Liverpool has officially announced the signing of Barcelona and Uruguay national team defender Ronald Araújo.
The 27-year-old joins the Merseysiders on a loan deal that runs until the end of the season.
At the same time, Liverpool has secured an option to make the Uruguayan's move permanent, with a potential buyout fee set at €55 million.
With this move, Araújo leaves Barcelona and embarks on a new chapter in the English Premier League. For Liverpool, this transfer marks a significant boost to the heart of their defense ahead of the new season.
It's worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Araújo made 38 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions, scoring 4 goals—matching his best-ever tally for the Catalan club in a single season. He was also called up to the Uruguay squad for the 2026 World Cup, but a muscle injury prevented him from playing a single minute at the tournament.
Reminder: Raid inattendu sur Madrid! Liverpool vise le défenseur du Real.
