Bayern Munich and its coach, Thomas Tuchel , are going all out for Ronald Araujo (24 years old). And as the television channel ‘Sky Sports Germany’ announced yesterday, on Friday there was a phone call between Tuchel , Christoph Freund (Bayern’s sporting director) and Araujo himself with the German coach’s intention of telling the Barça defender that He wants it now to strengthen his team.
According to the aforementioned information, Tuchel would have made it clear to the Uruguayan that he wants it urgently, preferably in winter or, if it cannot be, next summer and whatever the cost. The urgency of the German coach may be motivated by the injury of De Ligt , who last November suffered a partial tear of the internal ligament in his right knee.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg , the author of said news, Bayern is willing to pay Barça an enormous transfer fee for Ronald Araujo , which in Germany is quoted at 100 million euros, given that it is the absolutely desired objective.
Yesterday, without going any further, they lost 5-1 against Eintracht. The same information points out that the Bavarian club is clear that it will be a difficult mission to recruit the culé defender in January but that now the ball is in their court after the call from Tuchel and Freund .
The real situation
As Mundo Deportivo learned , the reality of the situation is that Bayern is going very hard for Araujo, who would receive an increase in the amount he is currently earning. However, from the outset she has already said ‘no’ to his proposal to go out this winter, although in summer he may have a case again.
Money doesn’t matter to Araujo , what tempts him is the sporting side, which is what really interests him above all else. He is very competitive and wants to win many titles. And at Bayern he could aspire to the Champions League every year.
It is obvious that the German club’s is a consolidated project and Barça’s is growing. For this reason, Ronald wants to see how Barça evolves this season. He feels very good at the Barça club but wants to see the team’s evolution.
United, too
Bayern is not the only club that has asked about him. So did Manchester United, which offered him double what he earns now. In fact, all the ‘big boys’ except Madrid have investigated his situation.
Barça’s reaction
At Barça they consider it normal that Araujo receives powerful proposals due to his great quality and youth. Of course, they are calm because he has a contract until 2026 and a termination clause of 1,000 million euros.
In addition, he is one of the players that Deco has on his agenda to renew next season. Of course, they admit that a star is always exposed to being tempted with great offers.
