Barcelona Weighing Ronald Araujo Sale to Fund Dean Huijsen Move
Barcelona are reportedly targeting Dean Huijsen to strengthen their defense, but financing the deal could require selling Ronald Araujo. The Bournemouth centre-back is seen as a future star, but his €60 million price tag poses a challenge for the Catalan club.
Araujo’s Uncertain Future
Araujo’s long-term role at Barcelona remains unclear, with reports from Fichajes suggesting he has yet to fully convince manager Hansi Flick. With Manchester United showing interest in the Uruguayan defender, Barcelona could use his potential sale to raise funds for Huijsen’s signing.
Competition for Huijsen
Barcelona are not the only club pursuing Huijsen. Real Madrid and Chelsea are also monitoring the 19-year-old, which could drive up his transfer fee. If Barcelona want to secure the deal, they must move swiftly to avoid missing out.
Crucial Summer Transfer Window
If Barcelona sell Araujo and acquire Huijsen, it would mark a significant step in their defensive rebuild. However, delays or financial constraints could see them lose out on their target.
Real Madrid & Barcelona Target Espanyol’s Joan Garcia
In addition to their defensive plans, Barcelona and Real Madrid are both reportedly eyeing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. The 23-year-old shot-stopper has impressed in La Liga, making him a potential target for both clubs looking to strengthen their goalkeeping depth.
