Barcelona and Juventus reach agreement for Ronald Araujo transfer – reports

Barcelona have reached an agreement to loan club captain Ronald Araujo to Juventus. The Uruguayan defender is set to travel to Turin next week for medical tests before finalizing the move.

La Repubblica reports that Araujo has given his consent for the loan and is expected to sign the necessary documents after completing the medical.

The deal comes after weeks of speculation, with Juventus waiting for Barcelona’s response. According to SPORT, the Spanish Higher Council of Sports (CSD) ruling, which allowed Barcelona to avoid a La Liga penalty, was instrumental in securing the agreement.

This move aligns with Barcelona’s aim to reduce their squad size, while Araujo seeks a new challenge in Italy with Juventus.
