Last season, Araujo was defined as “untouchable” at Barcelona. With the club’s major problems in managing Dani Olmo and Pau for the rest of the season, the Barcelona management has been forced to be pragmatic.

The towering centre-back has been out with a hamstring injury this season, but is now back to play. With Hansi Flick, there has been 1 game and four on the bench, the Uruguayan international with a contract until 2026 desperately needs playing time, Barcelona needs space in the salary budget.

According to La Repubblica, Barca and Juve have agreed on a loan deal for Araujo until the end of the season, a medical check and signature will be in place during the next week.
