# Virals: Liverpool target Ronald Araujo has ‘important offers’ to leave

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/03/06/opinion-liverpool-player-ratings-from-hard-fought-epl-victory/) target [Ronald Araujo](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/08/virals-liverpool-make-approach-for-barcelona-star-ronald-araujo/) has reportedly received ‘important offers’ to leave Barcelona this summer.

The 23-year-old centre-back has been [heavily linked](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1477596850001752065) with the Reds in recent months and a move could be on the cards.

According to a report from Spanish outlet [Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/araujo-piensa-13330143), the Uruguayan is still unconvinced by what’s on offer at the Camp Nou.

The report states that the [seven-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ronald-araujo/nationalmannschaft/spieler/480267/verein_id/3449) ace ‘wants to continue’ at the Catalan club but Premier League clubs have ‘knocked on his door’ over a switch.

So far this season Araujo – hailed as [‘powerful’](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/2015516/pique-araujo-is-a-great-centre-back-he-has-it-all?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=fcbarcelona&utm_campaign=c5e614f8-6765-435b-a4c7-0f4fdd8aac5d) by Gerard Pique – has earned an impressive [7.01 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/ronald-araujo/925097) from 21 La Liga outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £31.5million and in the final 18 months of a contract in Spain ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ronald-araujo/marktwertverlauf/spieler/480267)), signing the defender this summer or next likely be for a bargain fee.

However, Jurgen Klopp already [boasts](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez as a four-pronged central defensive department.

Albeit the Uruguayan [possesses a range of attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/384711/Show/Ronald-Ara%C3%BAjo) that would make him perfect for Klopp’s side, unless one of the current incumbents was to leave, Araujo surely won’t appear high on the list of Anfield targets.
