According to a recent update provided by Fichajes, it has come to light that Manchester United are eyeing a move for Barcelona captain Ronald Araujo as they look to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window.

The Premier League giants are eager to make a statement signing, and the Uruguayan defender has emerged as a prime target.

Araujo, who recently committed his future to Barcelona with a contract running until 2031, remains a crucial figure in the club’s long-term plans.

However, reports suggest that a potential transfer could be on the cards if a substantial offer is placed on the table.

The outlet mentions that Barcelona are believed to value the centre-back’s departure in the range of €60-70 million, a figure Manchester United would be willing to meet.

While Araujo’s new contract ties him to the club for years to come, there is an interesting clause that could change the situation.

For the first ten days of the summer transfer window, his release clause will be set at €65 million, giving interested clubs a brief window to trigger the clause without needing Barcelona’s approval.

Despite this, Barcelona remain firm in their stance. The club’s management holds Araujo in high regard and see him as a vital part of their defensive setup.

Barcelona value Araujo

The Uruguayan’s leadership, defensive abilities and commitment to the team make him an integral player for the future. As things stand, Barcelona have no intention of selling him and are not entertaining offers.

However, the dynamics of the situation could shift if Araujo himself starts considering a new challenge. If he expresses a desire to leave, clubs like Manchester United would need to act quickly to take advantage of the limited-time release clause.

Ultimately, while Barcelona have no plans to offload their captain, the upcoming transfer window could bring unexpected developments depending on how the situation unfolds.
