This summer, Manchester United are reportedly prepared to spend as much as £68 million to get Ronald Araujo, a defender for Barcelona. This information comes from the Spanish daily Sport.
Expected to leave when his contract ends at the end of June, Raphael Varane has the Red Devils searching for a replacement centre defender.
The club is reportedly willing to spend as much as £68 million to get Araujo, who has been named as one of their primary targets (Sport, page 2).
Barça is no longer planning to ratify his transfer, thus a deal is very unlikely to happen.
In order to balance their books, the Catalan giants need a high-profile departure by June 30th, and Araujo has lately been identified as the perfect individual to make that move.
Since new manager Hansi Flick has made it plain that he wants to retain him, the situation has altered, and the club should sell other defenders.
In response to the German’s request, Barcelona will intensify contract negotiations with the Uruguayan.
As of now, Vincent Kompany is the head coach of Bayern.

Manchester United should look for new goals to aim towards.
In order to fill Varane’s shoes, the Red Devils want a powerful centre defender who can hold the ball. Araujo is an excellent choice. At the young age of 25, he is enjoying a professional peak.
But now it seems like a deal isn’t going through. Flick took over for Xavi not long ago. His transfer choice is expected to have the support of the Blaugrana.
United must so seek out new objectives. There are other young, right-footed centre backs available at the same price, and the club needs one.
