World class Manchester United target informs team-mates he wants Premier League move

Manchester United have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Ronald Araujo, with the defender ‘prioritising’ a move to the Premier League should he decide to leave Barcelona this January or at the end of the season.

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.

A serious hamstring problem meant Araujo missed the first half of this season and he made his long-awaited return in Barca’s 4-0 victory over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey last weekend, but there has been reports that he is one player that could be moved on.

Barcelona are struggling financially and have been linked with selling a number of players in order to help balance the books, and keep players at the club that they really want to build a future with.

The La Liga giants would be reluctant to accept a loan deal this winter but ‘will not close the door’ on a permanent transfer should they receive a ‘very considerable and irresistible’ offer, according to Mundo Deportivo,

The report states that Araujo has been open with his team-mates in the Barcelona dressing room that he is strongly considering a January move – and if he does depart, he will prioritise a move to England.

Look, that Manchester United defence needs sorting out, there are far too many goals being conceded by the club and adding a star like Araujo would be a massive statement signing, but we cant see that happening.

Aruajo wants to join a side that is playing Champions League football winning games and winning trophies, right now, Man United are not doing that and we dont know when they will be.
