An insight into the financial details of the offer tabled by Juventus for Barcelona star Ronald Araújo has been forthcoming online.
And it goes some way towards explaining why the board at the Camp Nou opted to knock the proposal back.
This comes amid confirmation on the part of Marca that Juve offered up a sum in the region of €35 million to bring the defender in this winter.
The Bianconeri, evidently, are keen to take advantage of the fact that the Uruguayan’s contract terms in Catalunya’s capital are due to expire in the summer of 2026.
Deco and the Barcelona brass, however, are unwilling to sanction a sale for a cut-price fee.
Instead, Marca reiterate that the Blaugrana have pointed towards a sum of €70-80 million as a starting point for negotiations.
With Juventus considered as highly unlikely to cough up any such fee, Araújo, it would appear, will not be departing for Turin any time soon.
