The upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for Manchester United. The Red Devils need to make signings that will work. Previously, they have signed star players. But, most of them failed. That is why the upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for Ruben Amorim.
Just like any other summer transfer window, Manchester United is getting linked with several players. Without any doubt, they need defensive reinforcements. Victor Lindelof is nearing the end of his contract with the Red Devils. He is expected to leave as a free agent.
That is why United is looking to sign a new defender. Now, there are so many defenders that are getting linked to Manchester United. But, when there is a player from Barcelona that is getting linked to the Red Devils, we have to talk about it.
According to the latest Man Utd transfer news from Fichajes, Manchester United wants to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona. The Uruguayan international has been a key figure in the defence of the Spanish side. He extended his contract in January this year.
So, Manchester United will have to pay good money to get him out of Barcelona. However, there is a chance for the Red Devils to get this deal over the line. Virgil van Dijk is expected to join Barcelona as he could leave Liverpool at the end of the season as a free agent.
That is why Barcelona could look to move Araujo on. But, they will be charging around €60m for the player according to the same report. So, it will be interesting to see whether Manchester United can pay that fee as they have other positions where they need to sign players.
Also, with the current situation of the club, it seems United will have a tight budget unless they can sell the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Rasmus Hojlund. So, we have to see what unfolds in this Ronald Araujo to Manchester United transfer saga.
