Chelsea reportedly eager to reach a transfer deal for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo this summer.
Uruguay International has always been a key player in Barca, and it makes sense that some big names are connected to him now.
Regarding Araujo's latest future, the future of Spanish media Fichajes is that Chelsea, along with Bayern Munich and Juventus, targets a price of about €65 million.
This is claimed in another recent report by Fichajes that Liverpool is increasing interest in signing Araujo.
Ronald Araujo's release clause attracts interest
The latest situation about Araujo's situation appears to be that he will have a €65 million release clause in July, a reminder to Chelsea, Bayern and Juventus.
The Blues could strengthen the defensive role, and while they were closely related to Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen, people think they might think of alternatives, too.
Araujo was one of the top European defenders of the day, so CFC fans will surely welcome someone like him to come in at Stamford Bridge this summer.
€65 million is not very cheap, but the price to pay for Araujo’s ability is also reasonable, so, undoubtedly, is at least worth considering.
Chelsea changes its defense?
Speech Attracted by the side Regarding defense this summer, the latest Chelsea News says writer “SuperFrank” tells us: “In the summer, the Blues will add at least one expensive addition to their backline in the summer, and Axel Disasi and Trevoh Chalobah may also stay.”
Disasi is currently on loan at Aston Villa after a disappointing spell with Chelsea, while Chalobah was loaned to Crystal Palace last summer before being recalled in surprise in January.
Araujo or Huijsen appears to be an upgrade for these players as Enzo Maresca hopes to improve Chelsea’s backline by next season is convincing.
