Manchester United are reportedly preparing 'a big offer' for Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo.
The Uruguay international has been an important player for the Catalan giants this season, making 24 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals in the process.
Araujo has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Camp Nou, though, and there has been widespread speculation surrounding his future in recent weeks.
Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in the defender ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, according to Marca, the strongest interest is coming from Man United, with the Red Devils keen to bring him to the Premier League ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions are 'willing to make a big offer' for the South American, and the club are 'a real threat' to Barcelona when it comes to their desire to keep hold of him.
The 22-year-old has scored four times and contributed one assist in 63 appearances for the Catalan giants since making the move from Boston River in 2018. body check tags ::
