Ronald Araújo could receive in summer his first big offer to go out of the FC Barcelona. The Uruguayan defender signed does a year his renewal with the group culé until 2026, but the problems of the Barça with the 'fair play' financial have postergado the update of his index card, a situation that will try to take advantage of Paris Saint-Germain to carry him to the Park of the Princes in August beside Milan Skriniar, the another objective Parisian to renew his saga.

In this sense, the press gala ensures that Nasser To the-Khelaïfi prepares 90 million euros to remain with the 'charrúa' before the clause of rescission of 1.000 'kilos' that assigned him the Barça was official, as sucedió with Ansu Fati, Pedri, Ferran Torres and, próximamente, Gavi and Moving away Balde. With a value of market of €60m, the one of Rivera culminated agreement in June of this year, by which could have gone out free to the term of the 2022/23.

Josep María Bartomeu paid 4.7 million euros by his index card and, after two years in the filial, Ronald Koeman did him debut with the first team in October of 2020.

The obsession of the PSG by Araújo

It does a year, the Parisian directive sondeó his signing, trying convince him of signature a draft agreement to arrive free this year.
