Chelsea are interested in signing Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo this summer.
Levi Colwill was ruled out for months with serious injury and Chelsea needed a quality defender. According to Fichajes, they are seeking action for the 26-year-old Barcelona star.
The Spanish club is willing to consider a proposal of about €50 million for him, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can reach an agreement for South America.
Manchester United are also keen to sign Araujo.
Araujo is good enough for Chelsea
He has proven himself in La Liga and he has no doubt excellent physical and technical traits in the Premier League as well. The defender is at the culmination of his career, and this may be the right time for him to try out new challenges.
Moving to Chelsea might be attractive to him. They are one of the largest clubs in the world and have an excellent program. Chelsea also has the resources to pay him 50 million euros. It will be interesting to see how things go.
Ronald Araujo to improve Chelsea
The defender has enough uses to operate in the center or side. His versatility will provide Chelsea with additional benefits if they manage to complete the deal.
Araujo, who once played for a large club, knew what it takes to compete regularly at the highest level. He won the main trophy with Barcelona and his winning experience was priceless for the Chelsea locker room. Apart from his qualities as a central defender, his leadership can also be priceless. Whether Chelsea will follow up on their interest in an official proposal to reach a deal remains to be seen.
