Just now, according to the latest news brought by the British media Times Sport, the deal for Manchester United to bring in Barcelona defender Araujo has ushered in the latest development. Previously, it was rumored that Bayern wanted to sign Araujo for around €70 million, but with Manchester United's involvement, the situation reversed. Araujo is now closer to joining Manchester United and the two sides have agreed on a personal agreement. All it takes is to give Barcelona another suitable transfer fee, and the deal will be official.
It is reported that the main reason why Manchester United can take the lead in the trade battle is that they have offered the player a salary that is difficult to refuse. Araujo chose to leave Barcelona because the player tried to ask for an annual salary of 12 million euros before taxes during contract renewal negotiations, but the red and blue management said they could not be satisfied, and the two sides finally collapsed. Bayern are willing to give 13 million euros before tax, but this figure is still much worse than Manchester United's.
The Red Devils have promised the Uruguayan centre-back an annual salary of more than €24 million before tax, which is double his salary at Barcelona. In the face of the temptation of such a high salary, it is no wonder that Araujo is tempted. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United have tried to make a transfer fee offer of 70 million euros, but Barcelona still feels that it is still a bit low. The two sides are currently in consultations, according to Times Sport. Manchester United's latest round of offers has intrigued Barca as the former has taken the form of a player-plus-money deal. Manchester United want to sign Araujo for Jadon Sanchoga for €50 million, and Barcelona agrees.
To some extent, Manchester United's use of Sancho to exchange for Araujo at this stage is actually an offer that satisfies both parties. For Barcelona, the sale of Araujo will be used to make new signings with the recovered transfer fee. The midfield also lacks a wide attacker with the right amount of ball-handling. If you can get a transfer fee of 50 million euros and still have Sancho, this is indeed a good choice. Jadon Sancho himself has been the target of Barcelona's scandals in previous years, and his style of play and technical style are indeed very much in line with the current red and blue team.
Putting him in central midfield could be used as a rotation or even a mainstay, so this offer is more acceptable to Barcelona than a pure transfer fee. At the same time, for Manchester United, although Sancho played well during Dort's loan period, the team has been disappointed in him, and how to get rid of him is a headache for the higher-ups. If you can add him to the discount in this deal, it will be the most economical solution. Manchester United also got Araujo when they got rid of him, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. What's more, Sancho's weekly salary has reached more than 300,000 pounds, and Manchester United's cleaning of him is equivalent to getting rid of the burden of high salary, so why not?
At the same time, for the player personally, his experience at Manchester United has made him questionable, and his career has also fallen to a low point. But fortunately, after returning to Dort, he gradually regained his confidence, which has allowed Sancho's current instant strength to recover. If you can join Barcelona at this stage, it will be very helpful for his career. Barça, after all, is a higher platform, and it also fits Sancho's technical characteristics. If you can make a price here, it is not impossible to become a first-line superstar in the future. All in all, this summer's move is a challenge for Sancho, but it is also an opportunity.
The offer has now been sent to Barcelona's negotiating table, with the Red and Blues negotiating a specific amount of money increase. If nothing else, the deal is a foregone conclusion. I have to sigh the fate between Sancho and Barcelona, when Sancho played at Dortmund a few years ago, Barcelona always hoped to be able to sign him as the main midfielder. But then he couldn't sign for various reasons. Now Sancho has been sent to Barcelona in the form of a trade to add head, which can be regarded as a continuation of the frontier. What do you think about this?
