Ufabet reports that Barcelona have rejected Juventus first offer for Ronald Araujo and are demanding around €70m, more than double the initial offer.

The Bianconeri are confident of reaching an agreement to sign Araujo on loan this month for a fee in the region of €5m.
Then there is an option to buy at the end of โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที the season for another €20 million plus an additional €5 million in bonuses.
Italian sources confirm that intensified talks will take place after this weekend’s Spanish Super Cup clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
However, Ufabet said on Friday that Barcelona had rejected the initial offer.
The big shocker is that their asking price is close to €70 million, more than double the initial offer.
It comes after Arsenal also showed interest in the Uruguayan international.
Considering his contract expires in June 2026 and he has only just returned from a lengthy injury layoff, it seems unlikely that Barca would ask for that much money to sell the player.
However, the club prioritises his contribution to the current season, as they view him as a top-tier central defender critical to their pursuit of titles.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano mentions that negotiations between the clubs will enter key stages next week, with Juventus making Araujo a top priority. No major movement will take place until after the Spanish Super Cup.
For now, he remains a key figure in Barça’s plans, but his future could hinge on Juve’s willingness to meet the club’s high valuation – or a direct request from the player to move on.
