Manchester United Pursues Ronald Araujo from Barcelona in Transfer Bid. Reports have surfaced indicating that Manchester United is actively pursuing a deal to sign Ronald Araujo, a standout player from Barcelona.

Since his move to Camp Nou in 2019, the talented center-back has impressed with his performances on the field. Manchester United has been closely monitoring Araujo’s progress and their interest in him has been known to Erik ten Hag, who has been seeking to strengthen the team’s defensive line.

Trade expert Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Manchester United has made inquiries about Araujo’s availability and has been informed that his price tag stands at £69 million this month. This valuation may potentially delay United’s pursuit of the Brazilian until the summer transfer window. It is worth noting that Bayern Munich has also shown interest in securing his services.

However, recent reports suggest that Araujo has expressed a desire to remain at Barcelona, having turned down offers from Manchester United. This development has prompted the English club to explore other options in their search for a central defender.

One player who has emerged as a potential alternative is Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice. The French center-back has long been on Manchester United’s radar, and the club’s familiarity with him through the involvement of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, who facilitated his transfer to Nice in 2021, adds weight to their interest.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Manchester United will continue to assess their defensive options, considering the pursuit of Ronald Araujo and the possibility of pursuing other alternatives, including Jean-Clair Todibo, as they aim to bolster their squad.
