Barcelona are following Maximiliano Araujo

Barcelona is seeking to strengthen the left wing position in its ranks during the coming period, by contracting with Toluca and Uruguay national team player Maximiliano Araujo.

Araujo (23 years old) is one of the most prominent young talents in the South American continent, as he shone with the Uruguayan national team in the 2024 Copa America, and presented a distinguished performance that caught the attention of many European clubs.

This player is distinguished by his strong physical abilities and high individual skills, and he also has a great ability to score and create goals.

His release clause is estimated at €20 million, which makes him a financially sound deal for Barcelona, compared to some of the other options available on the market.

The Catalan team is facing competition from some English Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest to sign him, which may push it to speed up the deal in the coming period.
