The Uruguayan has been identified as the top target for the German champions, with manager Thomas Tuchel personally reaching out to convince him to make the move to Bavaria.

With Bayern willing to break their transfer record to sign him, and Barcelona facing financial constraints, the future of the 24-year-old remains uncertain.
Bayern Munich Targets Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo in Record Transfer Bid
In the latest sports news, Bayern Munich is reportedly eager to break their transfer record in order to bring in Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. Manager Thomas Tuchel even personally called the Uruguayan player last Friday to persuade him to make the switch to Bavaria. While the German champions are not overly optimistic about their chances, they are pulling out all the stops to try and secure Araujo’s signature.
Bayern has laid out their project to Araujo and are prepared to break their transfer record of €95m in order to sign him. This has put pressure on Barcelona to offer the 24-year-old a wage increase in order to keep him happy. Additionally, manager Xavi Hernandez has been utilizing Araujo at right-back, but may need to reconsider in order to keep the player content.
While Araujo appears committed to Barcelona, the club’s financial situation and uncertainty about the future under Xavi could potentially sway his decision. However, it would be surprising if he ultimately chose to leave the club.
