<a href="https://www.ccma.cat/esport3/ronald-araujo-dubta-de-seguir-al-barca/noticia/3288831/" target="_blank">Catalunya Radio</a> claim that the 25-year-old remains keen to remain in Barcelona but is increasingly aware of speculation linking him with an end-of-season transfer, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ronald-araujo-future-barcelona-hands-bayern-munich-transfer-interest-cash-in-defender/bltff0c8737552e04e5" target="_blank">Bayern Munich said to be admirers of the powerful defender</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Barcelona's financial woes are well documented and having already used a number of financial levers that leveraged future earnings for instant capital, the club may now explore the more traditional way of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/cash-strapped-barcelona-sell-summer-lamine-yamal-leave-psg-not-option/blt836540bde5501098" target="_blank">generating cash in the summer transfer market</a>.In accounting terms it is a more attractive proposition to sell a player that has been at the club for a significant number of years, whose initial fee has fully amortised - hence why Araujo's name has been consistently linked with a departure.

THE EXPLANATION

While Araujo is often mistaken for a Barcelona youth product, he actually arrived as a 19-year-old having played in the Uruguayan Primera Division with Boston River. He spent two season with Barcelona's B team before breaking through to the first team at Camp Nou.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Blaugrana will look to steady the ship after a bruising <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-psg-joao-cancelo-ronald-araujo/blt3d2ff794efd7b731" target="_blank">Champions League exit</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/xavi-seethes-var-decisions-insists-barcelona-deserved-beat-real-madrid-jude-bellingham-inspired-clasico-defeat/blt5efa70153743ca8f" target="_blank">Clasico defeat </a>with a rare Monday night appointment against European hopefuls Valencia. The club's accountants will have a particularly keen interest in the team clinching second place in La Liga and a ticket to next season's lucrative Spanish Super Cup.
