The most recent media allegations about Manchester United’s alleged pursuit of Ronald Araujo, a Uruguayan international, are intriguing.
The South American is reportedly willing to accept a huge cost and salary to join United, according to a report last week in Sport. Barcelona values him at £68 million.
The Red Devils, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have all reportedly made attractive bids to entice the defender, according to today’s edition of the Catalan media site (news picture given below).
Nonetheless, things might change once Hansi Flick, the new boss, shows around.
Araujo was recently sold to improve the club’s financial predicament after coming under fire from Xavi.
Man Utd is prepared to “bid hard” and reach the £68 million asking price in order to capture Araujo, but Flick is hoping to work out a new deal with the player.
The 25-year-old star has had a renewal offer on the table for months, but he has been open to considering offers to leave Barcelona because of criticism.

Araujo is now taking it easy, but he’ll be back with the Uruguayan national squad for the Copa America in no time.
Time will tell whether he listens to Flick and decides to remain at the Nou Camp for longer.
He is a well-known centre defender with the skill and expertise to support any backline in the whole globe.
Manchester United has to replace players like Varane and Evans, so acquiring Ronald Araujo without playing in the Champions League would be a major coup.
