Man Utd have made a bold claim in a bid to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona in the summer.

The Premier League side are interested in bringing a new centre-back to Old Trafford this summer and have made Barcelona star Araujo a target.

Initially, the Red Devils were willing to sign Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, but a deal for the 21-year-old Englishman couldn't Materialize as The Toffees refused to reduce his transfer fee.

Since then, the club have been looking at other possibilities, as the club is very focused on making the current summer transfer window success.

According to Express Sport, Man Utd are willing to pay £64m for Araujo and have promised to double his current salary at Barcelona should he decide to join them this summer.

The Catalan side are struggling to convince the 25-year-old Uruguayan to extend his stay beyond 2026, and Erik ten Hag's side are looking to exploit that situation and use it to their advantage.

Should Man Utd succeed in convincing Araujo to join them, the Uruguayan could be starting alongside Lisandro Martinez as the club hopes to build a centre-back partnership that would resist and limit the opposition attackers from doing any kind of damage.
