Liverpool could be making a surprise move for Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo this summer.
According to Nacional Cat, the Reds are closely monitoring their defensive options as Virgil van Dijk’s future remains uncertain.
Van Dijk’s contract is up at the end of June, and it’s looking likely that he could leave Anfield on a free transfer.
While Van Dijk continues to perform well, Liverpool seems to be preparing for the possibility of his departure.
Araujo, who’s 26, has faced some injury issues this season, missing several matches due to a hamstring problem he picked up with Uruguay last summer.
Despite his limited appearances, Araujo’s defensive qualities are undeniable—his strength, speed, and recovery ability are top-notch.
He signed a new contract with Barcelona in January, extending his stay until 2031.
But with Barcelona’s crowded defense, including the impressive Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez, Araujo’s spot in the starting lineup is no longer guaranteed.
There’s a chance that Barcelona could be open to offers for Araujo, with reports suggesting a fee of around €60m (£51m).
“Liverpool allegedly believe that they could take advantage of the situation to move for Araujo this summer.”
If Van Dijk departs, Araujo could be a perfect fit for Liverpool’s defense.
Barcelona, looking to make a significant sale this summer, might be forced to part ways with Araujo to balance their books.
Given his skills, Araujo could be a standout player in the Premier League.
However, Liverpool won’t have it all their way—Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also said to be interested in signing him.
Since joining Barcelona in 2018, Araujo has made 164 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists.
