Ronald Araujo's lack of prominence at FC Barcelona could be taken advantage of by other European giants to try to convince him and take him away from the Blaugrana team, with whom he renewed his contract until the summer of 2031.
Thus, the Araujo issue seems to be one of the most talked about during the summer market that opens on July 1st.
Now, other giants of the old continent have begun to show interest in the Eastern player who was already scouted by Juventus in the winter market.
During the 2024/25 season, the Uruguayan center-back barely participated in 25 games (1,560 minutes), where he scored 2 goals and assisted on 2 occasions.
Ronald Araujo, coveted by Bayern, Manchester United and Juventus
For now, the 26-year-old defender has remained on the sidelines of his situation, as he is playing a secondary role at Barça since the arrival of the German coach, Hansi Flick.
However, Ronald Araujo's name has been in the orbit of several major European clubs for some time. Such is the case of Bayern Munich and Manchester United, who have already inquired about the player to complement their defensive lines.
In this sense, the interest in the '4' blaugrana would not be in vain, since his physical power, aerial game and ability to resolve situations of great danger make him worthy of a value of 40 million euros, according to Transfermarkt estimates.
Also, the team that has shown the most strength when asking about Araujo has been Juventus, with whom he had conversations in January, but ended up renewing with Barça.
The 'Juve' would still be very interested in incorporating the 'charrúa' and would not rule out making a move for the '4', although everything will depend on how the summer transfer market progresses.
However, Barça would be willing not to accept less than €60M for the team that wants to acquire the services of the native of Rivera.
Will Araujo want to leave Barcelona?
So far, the player has not publicly expressed any dissatisfaction with the Catalan team, although in retrospect the culés have lashed out at the defender for not marking Francesco Acerbi in the best way during the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals between Barca and Inter Milan.
However, Ronald Araujo has always shown his intention to want to continue wearing the Blaugrana shirt for many more seasons.
