"Liverpool and Chelsea may be interested to hear that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly keen to offload Ronald Araujo in a squad overhaul. The Uruguay international has mostly been a key player for Barca in recent years, but it seems he is no longer considered a player trusted by Flick for the long term. As previously reported on the Daily Briefing, Araujo has had admiring glances from clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea,"
"Araujo has previously shown a lot of quality, so it's easy to imagine him doing a job for Liverpool right now as they find themselves in a bit of a worrying position defensively. The Reds have not been as solid this season as they were last term, with Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger and perhaps in need of a long-term successor to come in soon."
Hansi Flick wants to offload Ronald Araujo during a Barcelona squad overhaul. Araujo had been a key player for Barcelona in recent years but is no longer considered a long-term trusted option by Flick. Clubs including Liverpool and Chelsea have shown interest in Araujo. Increased competition at Barcelona could limit Araujo's playing time, making a move attractive for more minutes and development. Liverpool has defensive concerns with Virgil van Dijk aging and Ibrahima Konate facing form and contract issues. Chelsea are seeking a centre-back in January and remain reliant on Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo, while Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana have had injury problems.
