As the European football season nears its end, transfer activities have already begun, with clubs initiating preliminary talks for their desired players.

Despite rumors last summer and the recent winter transfer window about Ronald Araújo’s potential departure, Barcelona ultimately refused to let go of the Uruguayan defender. Although Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez have recently become key figures in Hansi Flick’s defensive lineup, Barcelona is reluctant to lose Araújo.

Sport reports that an attractive offer has recently reached Barcelona’s offices. Bayern Munich, looking to strengthen their defense, has reportedly offered €65 million for Araújo in initial talks.

Despite Araújo being relegated to the bench under Flick, he has repeatedly stated in interviews that he has no intention of leaving and wants to stay at Barcelona to fight for a starting spot. However, Barcelona’s financial troubles and Bayern’s tempting offer—which could exceed €65 million in negotiations—might change the minds of Barcelona’s management, leading to Araújo’s transfer to Bayern.
