Transfer talks regarding Juventus’ interest in Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo have reportedly hit a snag.
Marca has revealed that Juventus’ initial offer for the defender has been rejected by Barcelona.
The rejected proposal was believed to be worth €35 million, which the Blaugrana deemed insufficient.
Barcelona reportedly values Araujo much higher, with claims that they are demanding at least twice that amount.
This development adds a new twist to the transfer saga, which has captured the attention of fans on both sides.
According to sources in Spain, negotiations may continue, but Juventus will need to significantly up their bid if they wish to secure the talented centre-back.
