TOP STORY: Araújo could leave Barca, linked to Man United
Barcelona could part ways with centre-back Ronald Araújo this summer, reports Sport.
The Blaugrana are reported to have made no progress during contract talks with the 25-year-old of late, and they have no plans to improve their previous offer to extend his deal.
Araújo is one of the players that the LaLiga side are considering moving on in the current window, with the club required to offload players before making any new acquisitions. He entered the final two years of his contract at the start of the month and was previously linked with Manchester United, Barca believe that he could already have a significant offer proposed to him by the Red Devils.
It is said that a proposal worth a minimum of £75 million will be required to land the Uruguay international, who has been in impressive form while representing his national team at the Copa América.
