Football clubs are always looking to replace their key players running out of contract with worthy players if extension talks stall.
There has been constant praise for key players at Barcelona as they have been making names for themselves this season.
The defending position at Barcelona is set to receive an overhaul this summer, with the club being rumored to have agreed a deal with Jonathan Tah for next season.
Danish footballer and Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen is set to leave the club at the end of the season following a series of injury blows that have kept the defender out for most of the season.
Eric Garcia is another name linked with an exit from the club at the end of the season after the offers they received in the January winter transfer window, which saw Hansi Flick halt the deal.
Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez have extended their contracts with the Catalan club and will have no chance of leaving the club on any occasion.
However, Ronald Araujo recently renewed with the club after a transfer saga in the January transfer window and is expected to continue at the club with the player expressing this desire.
Despite this desire, Premier League giants and soon-to-be-crowned champions of England Liverpool have set their sights on signing Ronald Araujo as a long-term replacement for veteran defender Virgil van Dijk, according to El Nacional.
The Uruguayan centre-back recently penned a new contract at the club that will run until 2031, which is rumoured to have a special clause that could see the defender leave the club for a reduced fee in the early days of the 2025 summer.
Liverpool FC will be looking to capitalise on this clause and try to tempt the defender with a move to Merseyside and a guaranteed starting role at the club.
Barcelona have also been linked with the Dutch veteran defender this summer. Seeing how things play out in the season’s final stretch will be interesting.
