The Premier ‘threatens’ to the Barça

Ronald Araújo left a top-level performance against Benfica. The Uruguayan returned to the starting position with the newcomer Xavi and proved to be a young center-back with guarantees on which to support Barcelona’s new project. Now, as Xavi saw it, so did the rest of Europe and it attracts the attention of England.

According to Mundo Deportivo, his current level and his projection are appreciated by several Premier clubs who have already contacted their agents to make several “very interesting offers” to the Uruguayan.

This newspaper ensures that Chelsea could be among those chosen to fear the marches of Rüdiger, Christensen and Azpilicueta, that finish contract at the end of this season. According to the English press, the blues do intend to renew Spanish and Danish, but the negotiations are more stalled with German.

The central culé has a contract until 2023 and, despite the notable offers that come from England, his priority would be to stay at Barcelona. The club also believes that Araujo is key for the future. In Barcelona they see the Uruguayan as the one chosen to replace Piqué and consider his renewal a priority, whose negotiations, of course, have not yet begun.
