According to reports, one FC Barcelona star has \u2018decided to leave\u2019 after being \u2018ordered\u2019 to depart the club amid interest from Manchester United.<\/p>\n
So far this summer, Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> have only made one summer signing, spending around \u00a362.5m to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves after activating his release clause.<\/p>\n While the Red Devils need to offload valuable assets to raise funds, they are continuing work on overhauling Ruben Amorim\u2019<\/strong><\/a>s squad as they are prioritising attacking upgrades.<\/p>\n United appear to be furthest along in their pursuit of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, but a new striker is another priority after they failed to sign Chelsea newbie Liam Delap earlier this summer.<\/p>\n In an ideal world, United would also target upgrades in other positions this summer after finishing 15th in the Premier League and failing to win a trophy in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n Man Utd could pursue a centre-back to fill the void left by Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof amid interest in Barcelona star Ronald Araujo.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Transfer rumour power ranking: Liverpool offered Kudus, Man Utd submit PSG bid<\/a> At the start of this year, 26-year-old Araujo penned a long-term contract extension until 2031 as his previous deal was due to expire in 2026.<\/p>\n Despite this, Araujo\u2019s future at Barcelona is in doubt after he was criticised for his decline in form last season, with reports indicating he\u2019s been earmarked by club chiefs as a player to cash in on to fund their deal for Nico Williams.<\/p>\n Last week, a report claimed Man Utd\u2019s \u2018offer\u2019 for Araujo has \u2018arrived\u2019,<\/strong><\/a> though he is also attracting interest from Juventus and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n It has previously been suggested that the Uruguay international is against a move elsewhere, but a new report in Spain claims he has performed a U-turn, \u2018deciding to leave\u2019 as he\u2019s \u2018accepted orders\u2019 from Barcelona\u2019s hierarchy to do so.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> This stance allows Barcelona to \u2018solve one of their most worrying issues\u2019 as they need a \u2018significant sale\u2019 to sign and \u2018register\u2019 him \u2018without any problems\u2019.<\/p>\n A club is yet to meet Barcelona\u2019s 60 million euro asking price, but Araujo\u2019s U-turn removes a major stumbling block for this \u2018sacrifice\u2019 and a move to the Premier League is considered most likely at this stage.<\/p>\n The report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018Bar\u00e7a is breathing easier and hopes that Ara\u00fajo\u2019s future can be resolved in the coming weeks, and that all parties involved will be satisfied.<\/p>\n \u2018He has already begun to be offered to various clubs, and may end up in the Premier League, where he has the most admirers.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, one FC Barcelona star has \u2018decided to leave\u2019 after being \u2018ordered\u2019 to depart the club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[199,94,225,98,12,101,91159,10031,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-232286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-manchester-united","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-ronald-araujo","15":"tag-soccer","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114784288479364013","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
