The Uruguayan defender is unhappy with his place in the team, although a change in circumstances is expected to take place in the coming weeks, and some believe it could change things.
Inigo Martinez’s muscle injury will keep him out of action for a month, meaning there is a place to be taken alongside Pau Cubarsi. Araujo should be the one to play, although that may no longer be the case as Relevo has stated that he still wants to leave Barcelona before the end of the winter transfer window.
Juve ready to pay
Barcelona do not want to lose Araujo, and will demand more than 50 million euros to complete a deal. Juventus are determined to make a deal happen, even if they will have to pay their asking price to make it happen.
If Araujo leaves, the report says Barcelona could sign a replacement, now that Martinez is there for at least a month. The club’s return to La Liga’s 1:1 rule makes this possible, although with Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia it might be better to save money for the summer.
