Manchester United have long pursued Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, reportedly offering to double his salary to entice him to Old Trafford amid rumors the Catalan club might sell him for £63.5 million.
However, Barcelona, under the direction of Joan Laporta, have decided to retain Araujo, actively negotiating a new long-term contract despite initial disagreements between the player’s camp and sporting director Deco.
In light of these disagreements, Manchester United reportedly made an ‘astronomical proposal’ to secure Araujo’s services.
The Premier League side were willing to go to great lengths to bring the Uruguayan international to Old Trafford.
Despite this, the situation has now changed, and Araujo remains committed to Barcelona, even though a contract renewal has not yet been finalized.
Barcelona are pushing to finalize a new deal with Araujo as they do not want him to enter the final year of his contract without an extension.
The 25-year-old recently suffered an injury during the Copa America and has undergone surgery, which will sideline him until December.
This is a major blow to manager Hansi Flick, who would have counted on Araujo in his team plans.
For now, Manchester United’s hopes of signing Araujo appear slim.
However, until the Uruguayan defender formally extends his contract with Barcelona, the Red Devils will stay attentive to any developments in his situation.
