FC Barcelona is reportedly considering offers for center back Ronald Araujo, previously considered 'untouchable', as per SPORT sources. Araujo faced criticism after a costly mistake against Paris Saint-Germain, leading to a red card and subsequent defeat for Barca.
With the club needing to raise $107 million by June 30, selling Araujo could help meet financial targets. Bayern Munich has shown interest in the 25-year-old, with reports of a potential move to the German club. Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane, rumored to be joining Bayern, may also target Araujo for defensive reinforcements.
Barca is confident in the potential of La Masia star Pau Cubarsi and could pair him with a new signing in defense. Araujo may be enticed by offers from clubs offering higher wages and regular Champions League football, opportunities Barca might not match.
While Barca missed out on the Champions League semifinals, Bayern will face Real Madrid in the next round. The potential departure of Araujo could reshape Barca's defensive lineup and financial outlook in the upcoming transfer window.
