Corriere dello Sport reports that Barcelona are still unwilling to loan Ronald Araujo out in January, while Juventus are also dealing with Arsenal’s interest in the Uruguay international.

Juventus are still looking for defensive reinforcement this month, and Barcelona’s Araujo has recently emerged as a primary target for the Bianconeri.

The defender’s agents have refused to rule out an agreement with the Old Lady. However, according to the latest report from Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are still struggling to reach an agreement with Barcelona.

In fact, the Catalans aim for a permanent sale, while Juventus are working on a loan deal with an option to buy.

According to the report, Arsenal are also interested in the Uruguay international, so Juventus must face competition from the Gunners in the race for the 25-year-old.

Araujo has recently returned to action after a lengthy injury that required surgery last summer and has only made one appearance with Barcelona this season.
