Bar\u00e7a could receive an offer from Milan for Ronald Araujo, with Rafael Leao attentive to the possibility of a ‘bomb’ swap. Will the ‘cul\u00e9s’ be able to sell the center-back?<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Ronald Araujo<\/a> is one of the pieces with which FC Barcelona can make money this summer. The ‘charr\u00faa’ can leave for an affordable price in the first days of July<\/strong> and AC Milan, like Juventus, is attentive to his future.<\/p>

The latest information from Italy points to the interest of the new ‘rossoneri’ coach, Massimiliano Allegri, in the Uruguayan international<\/strong>. The Italian coach already had him on his radar during his time at Juve, but the ‘4’ never intended to leave Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>

Last January, still with Thiago Motta on the bench, the ‘bianconeri’ returned to the charge for Araujo, but the azulgrana team activated the defender’s renewal until 2031<\/strong>. Now, Milan joins the list of suitors for the ‘charr\u00faa’, taking advantage of one of the clauses in his new contract.<\/p>

Although Ronald maintains his release price at 1,000 million euros, the value of the clause drops to 65 ‘kilos’ during the first two weeks of July<\/strong>. In that sense, Bar\u00e7a is attentive to any offer, although for now the 26-year-old defender is untouchable in the squad led by Hansi Flick.<\/p>

Araujo as a bargaining chip? Rafael Leao is still waiting for Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

However, there is a scenario in which Barcelona would open the exit door to Araujo. In Italy, there are strong rumors about Rafael Leao’s desire to leave Milan this summer<\/strong>, as the ‘rossoneri’ team will not compete in European competitions in 25\/26.<\/p>

The Portuguese player, represented by Jorge Mendes, will make a new effort to return to the ‘cul\u00e9’ radar, although the azulgrana team maintains Nico Williams and Luis D\u00edaz<\/a> as priorities when it comes to left wingers.<\/p>

Milan, for its part, insists on closing the door to the ’10’, for whom they will only accept offers starting at 100 million euros<\/strong>. However, the Lombard position could become more flexible by including Ronald Araujo in the operation.<\/p>

The ‘rossoneri’ have the Tomori-Pavlovic duo as starting center-backs<\/strong>, while Malic Thiaw and Matteo Gabbia are the available replacements. Either of the two could leave if they add a ‘top’ center-back like the third captain of Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>

The Leao-Araujo swap, an unfeasible operation for Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

Beyond this possibility, the swap of Araujo for Leao is practically impossible this summer. First, because the azulgrana defender has no intention of leaving<\/a><\/strong> and, if he does, he will prioritize a team with a much more attractive sports project.<\/p>

And, in the case of Bar\u00e7a, although Rafa Leao is very popular with the board, his signing implies an investment that is too high for the club’s budget<\/strong>. Even if Ronald were included as part of the payment, an extra sum would have to be paid to Milan, an unfeasible scenario for the ‘cul\u00e9’ sports planning.<\/p>

Although the club needs to make money with some ‘top’ sale, Araujo, for now, is not on the list of transferable players<\/strong>. And, if the center-back expresses his desire to leave, the idea would be to receive a high figure, enough to amortize the arrival of another couple of reinforcements in the summer market.<\/p>
