The French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco has been linked with a move for Barcelona's young full-back, Ronald Araujo. The 22-year-old defender is one of the best prospects in Spanish football and has already established himself as a key player at Camp Nou.
Barcelona have been keen on keeping hold of Araujo, who has been a regular starter for the Catalan giants since his arrival from River Plate in 2019. However, the club may be willing to let him leave this summer, given the uncertainty surrounding the future of Lionel Messi and other stars such as Sergio Busquets and Philippe Coutinho.
AS Monaco have shown interest in the Uruguayan international, and it seems that they will be one of several clubs vying for his signature. If Monaco can secure his services, it would be a significant boost to their defensive strengths, which were exposed during the recent Coupe de France final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Araujo is known for his versatility and technical ability, making him a valuable asset to any team. He is also capable of playing both left-back and right-back positions, giving his side more options in terms of defensive cover.
Despite the competition, it remains to be seen whether Monaco will be able to persuade Barcelona to part ways with Araujo. However, if they do manage to land the young full-back, he could prove to be a game-changer for their upcoming season.
