Ronald Araujo is coming to the end of his contract at Barcelona, and a new deal still hasn’t been agreed. Football Espana report he’s actually turned down their latest deal, and is unimpressed by their wage offers.
Chelsea have been linked with potentially signing him on a free transfer this summer – ironically there have been rumours about Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen going the other way.
22 year old Araujo was really thrown into at Barcelona in the collapse of the team under Ronald Koeman, and has been one of the players to come out of the disaster zone with some credit.
Athletic and good on the ball, the Uruguayan has shades of Antonio Rudiger about him. He seems the type of player Thomas Tuchel would like. Could we be about to do a bizarre 2 for 1 centre back swap with Barca? This is footballer after all, stranger things have happened.
