Manchester United aim for Barcelona center-back Ronald Araujo this summer - Reports
According to reports in Spain (via Express), the Red Devils are intent on bringing Blaugrana star Ronald Araujo to Old Trafford with a high transfer offer.
Although the Blaugrana are looking to hold onto the 23-year-old, especially after his scintillating season so far, United are prepared to pay well for the star. His contract, which is expiring next year, is yet to get renewed, which is cause for concern if the Spanish giants end up losing him for free.
Araujo is yet to agree to any of Barcelona's contract offers, and with United reportedly following the situation, the Uruguayan could play at Old Trafford next season. If Barca refuse any offers from the Red Devils, and Araujo doesn't agree a new deal by January next year, United will be able to approach him.
