Manchester United and Bayern Eye €80 Million Barcelona Defender Araújo

Manchester United faces a potential €80 million price tag in their pursuit of Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo, as reported by Sky Sport Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg. Araújo, who has impressed with 20 appearances this season, has drawn interest from United and Bayern Munich. Barcelona has communicated the €80 million valuation to both clubs, signaling their financial needs amid struggles. Despite the hefty price, Araújo is reportedly not eager to leave Camp Nou in January, posing a challenge for a swift deal. United, led by manager Erik ten Hag, seeks defensive reinforcements, especially with uncertainties surrounding Raphaël Varane’s future and Lisandro Martínez’s injury concerns.
