Bayern Munich believe Barcelona captain wanted to join them in January

February 3, 2024

Ronald Araujo was a major talking point at Bayern Munich not long ago when the defender was closely linked with a move to Bavaria.

Bayern, in fact, retain their interest in the Barcelona superstar, as the club look to shore up its ranks in the defensive unit.

Although Barcelona were not running the risk of losing Araujo in the January transfer window, Bayern believe the player was certainly interested in making the move.

Araujo was willing to move in January: Bayern

In a recent report, The Athletic journalist Raphael Honigstein claimed Bayern Munich were confident that Ronald Araujo was willing to join the club in the winter transfer window.

The Bavarians had even green-lit a €80 million transfer outlay for the Uruguayan international, who was considered one of the club’s main targets in the January market.

Unfortunately, the move did not materialise. Xavi Hernandez, in particular, blocked the move as he did not want to indulge in any negotiation with Bayern Munich. He even threatened the quit if the board considered the offer.
