Luis Suarez Push Ronald Araujo Leave Camp Nou and Join Liverpool

Gilabola.com – Liverpool have a great opportunity to get help from their former attackers, Luis Suarez, in an effort to bring in Ronald Araujo from Barcelona.

The Spanish media report said that Suarez had made contact with his compatriot in the Uruguay National Team and encouraged the defender to consider moving to Anfield in the transfer market next January.

Araujo himself is in an ideal situation in Barcelona, ​​where he is still struggling to find consistency due to injury and fierce competition under coach Hansi Flick.

Since recruited from Boston River in 2018, Araujo has recorded 178 appearances for Barcelona and offered two La Liga titles. However, repeated injuries made him lose continuity that had been awakened in the Xavi Hernandez era.

With the age of 26 years, the news of the move to the English League with a transfer value of around Rp 963 billion is believed to be a new way to restore its best performance.

Suarez’s encouragement and Araujo’s attitude

Suarez, who once left Barcelona to Liverpool with a big success story before finally migrating to Spain in 2014, was said to have suggested Araujo to follow in the footsteps of the opposite: leaving Camp Nou and tried a new career in the English League.

The relationship between the two is quite close, both as a short partner in Barcelona and as a teammate in the Uruguay National Team to Suarez retired from the international level last year.

Even so, Araujo had stated on the Barcelona pre -season tour in South Korea that he felt happy at the Catalan club. He asserted to reporters that he planned to stay and even believe the public had not seen his best abilities.

That view could have changed ahead of the winter transfer window, especially if the regular playing opportunities did not improve under Flick’s direction.

Liverpool’s needs in the back line

Arne Slot manager currently still relies on the duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as the main couple in the heart of defense. However, with the Van Dijk contract which will end in 2027 and Konate in 2026, the club began to look for long -term alternatives.

Joe Gomez remains a coating, while Giovanni Leoni, an 18 -year -old young defender who was just bought from Parma for Rp. 582 billion, has not yet made his debut in the first team.

Liverpool have actually tried to secure Marc Guehi’s services from Crystal Palace at the end of the summer transfer window, but an agreement of Rp 784 billion was canceled in the last seconds. The situation made other options again considered, including Araujo, which was flexible to play as a central defender and right back.

The slot also still has Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, plus an emergency solution through the Szoboszlai Dominic which was installed as a right -back when the injury storm hit last month.

If it is realized, Araujo’s transfer will give Liverpool the depth of the squad that is more solid in English and European soccer competition. But until January arrived, the future of the Uruguay defender was still dependent on the conditions in Barcelona and the club’s management decision.
