Replacement for Van Dijk. Liverpool has its eye on Ronald Araujo

Liverpool is facing difficulties in renewing the contract of their defensive leader, Virgil van Dijk. This has forced the "Reds" to start looking for a replacement for the Dutchman right now.

Details: According to El Nacional, the club has taken interest in Barcelona's Uruguayan defender, Ronald Araujo. Liverpool sees the 25-year-old as a potential replacement for their captain, whose contract expires this summer. Barcelona is open to offers starting from 60 million euros.

It should be noted that the Uruguayan defender has missed a significant part of the season due to injury and has played only 8 matches, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist. According to Transfermarkt, his value is estimated at 55 million euros.

Additionally, it was previously reported that Mohamed Salah has made a decision about his future and has started negotiations regarding a new contract.
