Ronald Araujo is looking increasingly likely to leave Barcelona this month as Juventus and Arsenal circle the Uruguayan defender, who is reportedly unhappy at the Catalan club. Speculation has been rife in recent days and will continue for the remainder of the 2025 winter transfer window.
Juventus are currently pushing hard to sign Araujo, and a deal could be cheaper than expected. Amid reports that Barcelona would only accept a bid in the region of €60-70 million, Sport have now stated that this figure would be reduced to €45-50 million.
Barcelona are not in a favorable position with Araujo, who only has 18 months left on his current contract. Talks over a new deal have stalled in recent months, so club officials will be aware that they need to cash in as quickly as possible to receive as much money as possible.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will agree to the sale of Araujo before the end of the month. If so, a contract or two could be made, although that would be unlikely despite the club's recent return to La Liga's 1:1 rule.
