La Repubblica: Juventus agree deal with Barcelona for Ronald Araújo

Juventus have made a decisive move to bolster their defence by securing the services of Ronald Araujo from Barcelona. According to recent reports from La Repubblica, the Uruguayan defender is now poised to make the switch to Turin. The Bianconeri had already received the player’s approval a few days ago, and now they have reportedly reached an agreement with Barcelona.

The Catalan club received welcome news yesterday afternoon when the Superior Council of Sport granted a suspension against La Liga’s decision to exclude Dani Olmo and Pau Victor from the squad. This ruling allows the players to continue playing pending a final decision on the matter.

Following this development, Barcelona has given the green light for Araujo’s departure. The 25-year-old is expected to arrive in Turin next week for medical examinations and to sign his contract with Juventus. While further confirmation is awaited, this move would address Juventus’ most pressing defensive need: finding a replacement for Gleison Bremer.

Araujo is known for his one-on-one defensive skills, aerial ability, and good pace, making him an ideal fit for the Bianconeri’s backline. With this deal seemingly in place, Juventus’ Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli will now turn his attention to securing another defensive reinforcement and potentially exploring opportunities to strengthen the attack.
