Bayern Munich ready to pay ‘large sum’ for €70 million-rated Barcelona captain

Ronald Araujo has become a hot topic in the transfer market after rumours erupted over a potential move to Bayern Munich in the coming future.

It appears the Bundesliga giants are desperate to reinforce their defensive unit, with the Barcelona superstar emerging as the ideal candidate.

Recent reports suggest Araujo’s agent has even held talks with Bayern Munich over a potential move to Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich ready to pay a ‘large sum’

According to the latest update from SPORT1 (h/t FCB World), Bayern Munich are ready for a show of strength, as far as the pursuit of Araujo is concerned.

The report suggests that the Bavarians are ready to pay a ‘large sum’ for the Barcelona player, as they look to lure him to Allianz Arena at all costs.

It must be noted that Bayern have spent fortunes on various defenders in the past, including the likes of Matthijs de Ligt and Lucas Hernandez.

Therefore, it won’t be surprising to see the Bundesliga giants flush the cash on yet another defender, especially someone like Araujo, who is known for his aggression.

Araujo remains keen on Barcelona stay

However, it appears Ronald Araujo has no desire to leave Barcelona, despite strong interest from Bayern Munich.

As per SPORT1, Thomas Tuchel had recently Araujo. The defender listened out of respect but explained to him that he was comfortable at Barça and had no plans of leaving the club.

Bayern Munich, for their part, are aware of the fact that the window for Araujo to leave Barcelona is closed for now. But they are ready to spend big bucks once the window opens.
