The defender Araujo is destined for Liverpool. The Uruguayan center-back is ready to move on loan, thus freeing up a spot in the defensive department.

The departure of the South American defender opens up interesting scenarios for Cristian Romero. Barcelona could in fact see their interest in the defender materialize, as he has always put the Blaugrana destination at the top of his list of preferences.

However, Atletico Madrid is currently in a position of advantage in the race for the Argentine. The Colchoneros could close the deal in the next few hours, beating Barcelona to the punch.
