In an attempt to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona prior to the Euros, Manchester United is actively searching for him.

The Catalan giants have announced names to bolster the squad during the summer transfer window, according to today’s edition of Sport (news image below).

The main problem, though, is that they are cash-strapped and need to pull off a “million-dollar sale” in time for the European Championships.

Under such circumstances, Ronald Araujo, a Uruguayan international, is being transferred; this is the path that is becoming more significant.

Man Utd are reportedly “on the prowl” to recruit Araujo, whose sale might bring in about £69 million (80 million euros), according to Sport.

The center half from South America, who has been a vital member of Barca under Xavi, is also attracting interest from German powerhouse Bayern Munich.

Kimmich from the Bavarians and Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao are the two primary recruits that the Blaugrana have their sights set on.

The news source stated that although the preferred operations are moving forward nicely, funding is still needed to finish them.

Araujo, who has the ability to strengthen Man Utd’s feeble defense, might go if a significant sale results in the necessary funds.

The Red Devils’ defensive deficiencies have cost them dearly this season, as they have allowed 56 goals in the Premier League.

Araujo would be the ideal center defender for Man Utd to bolster the department. Should he decide to transfer to Old Trafford, the 25-year-old will have to forfeit his CL football for the upcoming season.
