Juventus chief breaks silence on Ronald Araujo transfer talk and drops 'positive news' hint about Barcelona defender

Barcelona

<p>Barcelona has reportedly turned down an initial offer from Juventus for Araujo, emphasizing the 25-year-old's importance to the team. The Catalan club values the player at<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-reject-ronald-araujo-offer-juventus-slap-eur70m-asking-price-on-defender/bltcaaf7e93ed97e90b" target="_blank"> €70 million (£58m/$72m)</a> and has made it clear that they would only consider a transfer if their valuation is met.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Hansi Flick considers Araujo a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-raphinha-ronald-araujo-hansi-flick-real-madrid-clash-juventus-transfer-talk/blta33fe90c9f19381b#cs3c555dcdade7d701" target="_blank">crucial figure in Barcelona's defensive lineup</a>, with his leadership and physicality making him an indispensable asset. The defender recently returned to action after missing the first half of the 2024-25 season due to a hamstring injury. His comeback was marked by a full 90-minute performance in a 4-0 victory over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey earlier this month.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Giuntoli was pressed for details on specific targets, including Araujo and Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani ahead of Juventus' Serie A clash against Torino. While he refrained from providing concrete updates, he did maintain an ambitious stance on securing both players. </p><p>“These are two good players, but the transfer window is only just opening and we hope to get some positive news over the next week," he told <a href="https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/juventus-giuntoli-araujo-e-kolo-muani-bravi-giocatori-in-settimana-spero-in-novita-positive-2055687" target="_blank"><em>DAZN.</em></a></p><p>However, Giuntoli also discussed the challenges of securing high-profile players during the January transfer window.</p><p>“We must respect many different parameters, both economic and technical, and it is difficult to get great players in January, so we need to have patience," he added.</p><p>"In general, it might be better to bring in someone who already knows Serie A, but we also have to look around at what is available and there aren’t many alternatives in Italy.”</p>

WHAT GIUNTOLI SAID

<p>While transfer rumours swirl, Barcelona are gearing up for a crucial match in the Supercopa de España final against arch-rivals Real Madrid. The showdown in Saudi Arabia offers Flick's side an opportunity to secure their first trophy of the season.</p>
