Barcelona is actively scouring the market for a fresh center-back, honing in on a specific target: a new Ronald Araujo. The interest in this profile might stem from Araujo’s recent strong links to Bayern Munich.

Amid their quest, Barcelona has turned their attention to Radu Dragusin, as per reports from Sport. At just 21 years old, Dragusin, a full-fledged international for Romania, has left a mark at Genoa in Serie A since his move from Juventus in the summer of 2022.

Sources suggest that Dragusin is drawing interest from multiple top-tier clubs across Europe, including several Premier League outfits keen on securing the promising central defender. Barcelona, grappling with well-known financial constraints, might face challenges in this pursuit.

Although Dragusin boasts a €30 million release clause, Barcelona would aim to negotiate this figure downwards if they were to engage in talks with Genoa.
