Barcelona will sell the famous defender who made a mistake in yesterday's game

In the 8th round of the Spanish Championship, reigning champions Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat away to Sevilla, missing out on the opportunity to catch up with the leaders, Real Madrid. One of the players who remained at the center of criticism after this defeat was central defender Ronald Araujo: it is noted that he made a number of mistakes in the passes.

Following internal analyses, the Catalan club's management has begun discussing some changes to the squad, and according to insiders, the transfer window for Araujo has been opened. According to Fichajes, Barcelona is ready to negotiate with clubs offering at least €40 million for the 26-year-old Uruguayan defender. According to the source, giants like Juventus, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea are closely monitoring the situation.

Araujo's current contract with Barcelona runs until June 30, 2031. Therefore, the Catalans can feel a handy advantage in negotiations, aiming to increase the overall package through additional conditions, such as bonuses and a share from resale, if necessary.

At the same time, the presence of options like Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Pau Cubarsi, and Inio Martinez in the defense line encourages the club to make decisions. Financial fair play boundaries and payroll pressure are also likely to trigger the transfer.

There is no official decision yet. However, as the winter window approaches, if offers start at €40 million are received, Barça will definitely be seated at the table. Araujo's performance throughout the season and the team's results will have a decisive impact on this process.
