BREAKING NEWS: coming live from Fabrizio Romano, ” I’m open for a move to Old Trafford i don’t mind, i admire the team so much it will be a pleasure playing for Manchester United also working with the players. Let’s see how the future goes”. According to a reliable source report, Manchester United is interested in acquiring La Liga star defender at the end of the current campaign, and are ready to pay about £80 million for him. Man United want to sign Uruguayan star, ‘verbal agreement’ could see £80m deal agreed.
Manchester United, the prestigious English football club with a rich history of 20 league titles, has been eyeing Araujo for the past couple of years and is now intensifying its efforts to secure his transfer, as reported by Sport.
The Catalan publication suggests that Bayern Munich is also eager to acquire Araujo’s services and is willing to offer a substantial sum of approximately £67 million (or 80 million euros) to secure the La Liga standout.
However, Manchester United is not shying away from competition and is prepared to exceed Bayern’s offer in their pursuit of Araujo.
Xavi, the manager of Barcelona, is keen on retaining the 25-year-old defender at the Nou Camp, recognizing his stature as one of the premier defenders in the Spanish league.
Despite Xavi’s desire to keep Araujo, Sport indicates that Barcelona may entertain offers for the talented centre-back due to financial constraints, prompting them to explore potential bids.
Negotiations between Barcelona and Araujo are underway, but the Catalan club’s offer falls short compared to the proposals from Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and other interested parties.
While Araujo appears inclined to remain at Barcelona, the possibility of him leaving cannot be discounted if he feels compelled to do so, given the interest from various clubs.
Should Araujo decide to depart Barcelona, there would be no shortage of suitors vying for his signature, underscoring his value in the transfer market.
Despite Araujo’s significance to Barcelona’s squad, the club finds itself in a precarious financial position, leading to speculation that they may reluctantly agree to his transfer amid their desperate circumstances.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is poised to bolster its defensive ranks by pursuing a centre-back signing, with Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite emerging as a potential target following his impressive performances this season.
The Red Devils are anticipated to undergo significant changes during the upcoming summer transfer window, both on and off the pitch, as they embark on a new era following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority takeover of the club. This transformation is expected to encompass squad restructuring and alterations in the club’s leadership hierarchy, reflecting Manchester United’s ambition for revitalization.
