Eager to recruit a new central defender soon, despite the strong competition between Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-Jae and Matthijs de Ligt, Bayern Munich had already shown an interest in Takehiro Tomiyasu, from Arsenal and more recently, in Raphaël Varane, in difficulty on the side of Manchester United. But according to information from Sky Sports Germany, Bayern Munich would like to strike a big blow by offering themselves a senior defender from FC Barcelona: Ronald Araujo (24 years old). The promising Uruguayan international defender would be a priority for Thomas Tuchel and the Bavarian leaders, who would like to enlist him for two years.
A big blow on the transfer market if this were to be confirmed, but the deal will be complicated to complete since Barça is currently in negotiations to extend his contract, he who had already renewed the summer of 2022 with the Catalan club. The Uruguayan defender is also linked with Barça until June 30, 2026 and his release clause amounts to 1 billion euros. An interest which could quickly turn into a soap opera, if the central defender expresses his desire to join Bavaria.
