Araujo agents leave door open to Juventus transfer amid injury fears | OneFootball

Ronald Araújo’s agents do not deny that the Barcelona defender is open to joining Juventus, but Corriere dello Sport claims the Serie A giants are evaluating other targets as well, given the player’s injury history.

Araujo has emerged as a transfer target for Juventus this month as the Bianconeri look to replace the injured Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.

Gazzetta reported on Tuesday that Araujo had given the green light to move to Turin this month and Mundo Deportivo says the players’ agents did not deny the report.

Nevertheless, they also refused to fuel any speculation regarding a transfer to Turin, while Barcelona sources say they haven’t yet received an offer from the Old Lady.

Corriere dello Sport claims that Juventus are considering Araujo and other potential reinforcements in defence this month.

The 25-year-old is a genuine target, but given his recent fitness issues, Juventus are keeping an eye open on other defenders as well.

Araujo suffered a hamstring injury last summer and was forced to undergo surgery. He has only made one Barcelona appearance this season and his contract with the Catalans expires in 2026.
