Reports suggest that the manager, alongside Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund, engaged in a phone discussion with the Uruguayan defender, aiming to persuade him to make the move to Germany. However, when Tuchel was questioned about this, he remained tight-lipped.
In an interview with Sky Germany before Bayern’s Bundesliga clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, Tuchel avoided commenting directly, stating, “I won’t comment on that in any way.” However, he humorously added, “I also spoke to my mother on the phone and there was no message. We only talk about our players.”
There’s a belief within Bayern’s decision-makers that Araujo could significantly bolster their defensive setup. They seem prepared to make a substantial offer to secure the defender, a move that might tempt Barcelona, who are grappling with financial constraints due to La Liga’s FFP regulations.
Tuchel’s pursuit of Araujo could hold merit, especially considering Bayern’s recent defensive vulnerabilities, highlighted by their 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt. This disappointing defensive display might prompt the German club to intensify their efforts in securing Araujo’s signature before the winter transfer window.
