AS reports that Bayern Munich has been eyeing Araujo for some time now, willing to put forward a substantial €80 million (£69m/$88m) to secure his services this year. The German powerhouse is determined to make a strong push for the Uruguayan defender and has already initiated steps toward that goal. Manager Thomas Tuchel, in particular, has prioritized Araujo and personally reached out to persuade him to join their ranks. However, sealing a deal in the current month seems improbable, possibly paving the way for Eric Dier’s arrival as a temporary solution.

Despite Bayern’s persistence, Barcelona remains unwavering in their stance regarding Araujo, considering him a vital component of their squad and not available for transfer. Yet, Barcelona’s ongoing financial struggles might eventually force them into a difficult decision.

Dier’s unexpected transition to Bayern appears imminent, reuniting him with their recent record-breaking signing and star, Harry Kane.

As Bayern gears up for Bundesliga action against Hoffenheim next weekend, Tuchel’s team enters the second half of the season trailing the top spot by four points with an additional game in hand.
