The "Juventus" team continues to make every effort to recruit "Barcelona" defender Ronald Araujo as early as January.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the "Serie A" team hopes that a proposal worth 50 million euros will be sufficient to finalize the deal.

However, an unexpected obstacle has arisen for the transfer.

"Barcelona" has lost defender Inigo Martinez for at least five weeks due to a foot injury and would not want to lose another high-level defender.

In this "La Liga" season, R. Araujo has not yet played due to injury, but the Uruguayan appeared in the won Spanish Supercup final match against the Madrid club "Real".
