As reported by Marca (via BBC Sport), ‘Liverpool are interested in Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo, who is stalling on a new deal with the La Liga side.

‘The 22-year-old is also attracting attention from Manchester United and Chelsea’.

It feels like a new name is thrown up every day and this is one of the latest rumours but it may not be one that comes to fruition, in what looks to be another quiet transfer window at Anfield.
