Forced to reduce its payroll to be able to sign Dani Olmo, FC Barcelona is the subject of particular attention, particularly in Italy. In search of a central defender this winter, Juventus targeted Ronald Araujo, absent for several months with Barça. An interest that does not seem to displease the player. According to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe player would like a transfer to Serie A and Juventus. This reinforcement would greatly please Thiago Motta.

Juventus would have put forward the possibility of a six-month loan with a purchase option, especially since the Uruguayan central defender only has a year and a half left on his contract with Barcelona. What is stuck in the file is the salary of 6 million euros received by Araujo in Catalonia, and which would weigh heavily on Turin's already tight finances. A complicated transaction, especially as Juventus is moving forward in parallel on several other issues to strengthen its central defense.
