In recent weeks, Ronald Araujo has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich. The Uruguayan defender is considered as a top target by the German champions, whose manager Thomas Tuchel is a big fan.
Araujo has developed into one of the world’s best centre-back at Barcelona, where he is loved greatly. Equally, the 24-year-old has great admiration for the Catalan club, although reports have suggested that he is slightly interested in joining Bayern.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, who has been on top of this developing saga, has reported that Araujo has told Bayern that he won’t be leaving Barcelona during the winter. However, at this stage, there is a “small chance” that a deal could be done next summer.
Bayern have been informed now, that Araujo wants to stay at Barcelona in winter. Bayern would have been willing to pay a mega transfer fee for the Uruguayan. However there seems to be a small chance in the summer for the German club to sign him. Araújo is and remains the dream… pic.twitter.com/tLpwwpcJVw

Barcelona are determined to retain Araujo’s services for many years to come. However, due to their ongoing financial problems, it’s unlikely that they can definitely say that he is not for sale, which could give Bayern an opening.
