JAKARTA - Juventus are one step away from getting Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. Only, Juve borrowed Araujo first to solve the backline problem before signing him permanently.
Juve actively recruit players during the January 2025 transfer market. Only the Italian Serie A club is just borrowing players until the end of the season
Previously, Juve targeted Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee. But the club also only wanted to borrow Zirkzee. Likewise with the offer for Marcus Rashford, another Manchester United player.
The problem is, Juve finds it more difficult to bring Rashford even though they can only borrow the 27-year-old. In addition to competing with AC Milan who also wants to borrow Rashford, Juve will face Napoli. Even Napoli are reportedly ready to exchange strikers Victor Osimhen for Rashford.
This is a win-win solution for MU Ruben Amorim manager who has not provided funds to buy players, but he can get the desired Osimhen without the need to spend a penny.
Juve pun tak hanya melakukan pembenahan di sektor depan tetapi juga belakang. Terutama dengan cedera dua bek mainstayalan, Gleison Bremer dan Juan Cabal. Injury ligamen pada knee membuat mereka harus menjalani operasi. Keduanya pun dipastikan selama karena harus menjalani pemulihan.
This is what makes Juve want to borrow Arajou with the option of making it permanent next season. According to Italian journalist Gianni Balzarini, quoted by Football Italia, Juve only needs to pay half of the net salary of 8 million euros or 133 billion rupiah during the six-month contract for the Uruguayan national team defender.
Juve's chances of attracting Arajou seem open enough. The reason is that Barca intends to sell the 25-year-old defender because it is no longer the first choice. Moreover, Arajou's contract is only 18 months away. The Spanish La Liga club did not want to extend its contract so they chose to leave the player.
It's just that Barca had set a high price for Arajou who could also play as a right-back. Barca asked for a price of 60-70 million euros. But no one is interested in recruiting these players, including MU who has targeted Arajou.
Yes, MU once seriously wanted to bring Arajou, but Barca refused to let him go. Now, the Blaugrana are forced to offer their players at a low price.
Finally, Barca lowered the price to 45-50 million euros. Even though it has cut the selling price of players, no one wants to buy it yet. Even Juve himself is only willing to buy Arajou at a price of 30 million euros. Even that Bianconeri wanted to borrow the player first.
