Arsenal are interested in signing Barcelona centre-back, €6 million contract offered

As reported by trusted journalist Gerard Romero, defender Ronald Araujo has an offer from many as two, with Arsenal offering him a €6 million salary package.

The Uruguayan, who is out of contract in the summer of 2023, is yet to put pen to a fresh contract as he believes the terms Barcelona are offering are well below the figures he ideally deserves.

Pouncing on the opportunity, Romero claims that apart from Arsenal, Manchester United, too have put forth an €8 million offer for the Uruguayan, but he is willing to listen to what Barça will put forward in the next meeting.

It’s no secret that the 23-year-old wants to continue playing in Barcelona, but at the same time, believes the salary should be revised at least to lines of those who have recently renewed their deals.

As of today, the negotiations are far from smooth as there’s no agreement between Barcelona and the player. While the player understands the club is in a difficult financial situation, he is also aware of the transfers plans that have been laid out by the management.

As far as Barcelona are concerned, they know the defender has no shortage of potential suitors. In fact, there are more than ‘just a couple of Premier League teams’ that keeping close tabs, but the figures Man United and Arsenal can offer could prove out to be the differential.

Arsenal are likely to return to the UEFA Champions League fold and will have to explore the market to bring in reinforcement.

Although it’s not all about the numbers, salaries do play a big role in defining anyone’s future and Araujo is no exception.
