Barcelona ready to sell world class Manchester United target for£51 million

Long-term Manchester United target Ronald Araujo has returned early to training under Hansi Flick, but Barcelona’s financial concerns may still force a decision on his future.

Manchester United had one of the clubs worst seasons in recent memory and were one of the worst sides in the Premier League, which means that this summer transfer window is a way to sgn players that will make a difference.

The defence was a real issue for Man United last season Ruben Amorim has a number of transfer targets that he may feel could come in and make an impact on, and off the pitch for the Red Devils.

Araujo has made over 150 appearances in all competitions for Barca since joining from Uruguayan outfit Boston River for a fee of just £1.5million back in 2017, and has firmly established himself as a regular at the heart of the club’s defence.

However, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona may consider activating Araujo’s temporary €60 million (£51m/$65m) release clause amid ongoing financial fair play pressures.

The clause is active from July 1 to July 15 and allows other clubs to sign the centre-back for that fixed amount. Araujo came back from his summer break early and is going to start training this week with Flick before the official beginning of pre-season.

Ruben Amorim knows that he needs to add another world class defender to that back-line, he knows that having a solid back-line will help get the club challenging for trophies once again.

Araujo could be a great signing for Manchester United he really is world class, but he really does not want to leave Barcelona at this stage of his career, so United would be getting a player that does not actually want to be there.

As we said he would be a great signing, we just cant see this happening.
