Gossip: Liverpool willing to splash out €50m on Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo

The transfer window may have only just closed but that is of absolutely no concern at all to the rumor mill which continues to churn out updates.

The latest hot gossip comes from the rather prolific (and wholly overexcited) Fichajes and a claim that Liverpool are willing to spend €50 million on Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.

Liverpool have already splashed the cash this summer on a host of new players, as Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have all arrived at Anfield on huge transfers. Now the word is that the Reds want to throw money in Barca’s direction.

Fichajes say Liverpool have been following Araujo for a while and think he could be a “strategic reinforcement” for the defence. There’s also a claim that Araujo is “open to all possibilities, aware that his time at Barcelona could be coming to an end.”

With Liverpool expected lose Ibrahima Konate in the summer, it’s no surprise to see defenders linked with the Reds, and Barcelona’s financial situation makes Araujo an easy target for the gossip columns.

Araujo’s future has been the subject of transfer talk for a little while now, and Fichajes certainly aren’t ready to let go just yet.
