Ronald Araujo is back on the radar of Juventus of Turin. The Uruguayan center-back, who was one of the main targets of the Italian club in the last transfer window, chose to extend his contract with FC Barcelona until 2031. However, the situation has taken an unexpected turn, as his release clause has been significantly lowered from the unattainable 1 billion euros to a more manageable 70 million.

This change in the defender's contract conditions has reignited the interest of the Vecchia Signora, who is closely monitoring his progress at the Blaugrana squad. While Araujo decided to stay at Camp Nou, his situation could change in the coming months, especially if the Catalan club fails to stabilize its finances or if the player considers taking a new step in his career.

Juventus continues to keep an eye on Ronald Araujo

Juventus, who recently bolstered their defensive line with the arrivals of Lloyd Kelly, Renato Veiga, and Alberto Costa, has not ruled out revisiting the option of signing the Uruguayan, as reported on 'Calciomercato'. Additionally, the return of Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal from their injuries will provide more solidity to the Bianconeri's defense, but a reinforcement like Araujo could be crucial for the team's future.

Although there are rumors that the 70 million clause may not be applicable to certain clubs, the Italian side remains hopeful. Juventus had previously reached a preliminary agreement, and with a more affordable price, Araujo's signing could be reactivated in the upcoming summer transfer window.
