Liverpool sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo on loan
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo on loan until the summer of 2027.
The completion of the move remains subject to work permit procedures and international clearance.
The 27-year-old Uruguay international arrives at Anfield after making over 200 first-team appearances for Barcelona, where he also captained the side earlier this year.
”I can’t wait to get started,” Araujo told Liverpool’s official website. “I’m very, very happy and excited to be here at this great club with a rich history.
”I’m eager to meet my team-mates, excited to start playing, and I have a huge motivation and a strong desire to get going.
”I think this was the perfect step for me at this stage of my career. I believe it was a necessary step for me. Once I heard of Liverpool’s interest, everything moved very quickly. I am pleased with the club’s interest, and I believe it was the right step at the right time.”
Araujo will wear the number 33 shirt for Liverpool, offering versatile options in defence with his ability to operate at both centre-back and right-back.
