Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing the Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.
They will face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea for the 26-year-old South American. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The player will be made available for a fee of around €50-60 million, as per CaughtOffside.
Tottenham need Ronald Araujo
Spurs need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the South American should prove to be an excellent addition. Apart from being a good defender, he is excellent with the ball at his feet. Its distribution skills will add a new dimension to the Tottenham team.
Furthermore, the player is versatile enough to operate centrally as well as on the flank. He could be the ideal addition for Tottenham as they look to build a formidable squad capable of winning trophies. The player has won major trophies with Barcelona, and his winning experience could prove to be invaluable as well.
Can Spurs convince Araujo?
It will be interesting to see if Spurs can convince him to join them instead of Liverpool or Chelsea. The 26-year-old defender has been described as an “extraordinary” player in the past.
Liverpool and Chelsea will be able to offer more money for the player, and they are probably in a slightly better position to win major trophies as well. It remains to be seen what the player decides. All three clubs could be exciting destinations for him. This could be the ideal time for him to try on a new challenge and move to the Premier League.
Tottenham have an ambitious project, quality players, and a quality manager at their disposal. There is no reason why the defender would not want to join them. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
