Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and he has been offered to Chelsea.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Ronald Araujo has been offered to Chelsea, but the Blues are interested in signing his teammate Eric Garcia instead. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have also been linked with the Uruguayan international, who could prove to be an excellent acquisition for both Premier League clubs. Chelsea need more quality and depth in the defensive unit and signing the Barcelona defender would be a wise decision. Araujo is at the peak of his career, and he can operate as a central defender as well as a full-back.

The South American defender will help Chelsea improve defensively, and his distribution skills will help them build from the back as well. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea take up the option to sign the player. Meanwhile, Liverpool could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit as well.

Ronald Araujo would be an excellent addition for them. Ibrahima Konate is expected to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires. The French international has not signed an extension with Liverpool yet. They will need to replace him properly, and the Barcelona defender could prove to be a useful acquisition. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona are prepared to sanction his departure for a reasonable amount of money.

Premier League would be ideal for Ronald Araujo

Moving to Chelsea or Liverpool could be exciting for the Barcelona defender as well. It would be an exciting opportunity for him, and he would get to test himself at a high level. Chelsea and Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies.

The South American will want to compete at the highest level at this stage of his career and joining a top Premier League club would be ideal. However, Chelsea are not interested in Araujo and have set their sights on one of his Barcelona teammates.

Eric Garcia is on the radar of Chelsea. The Spanish international has played in the Premier League before with Manchester City, and it will be interesting to see if Barcelona are willing to sanction his departure. With Garcia growing in prominence under Hansi Flick, a move to Chelsea may not materialise.
