Report: Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea set to battle it out for 50m-rated utility man
Briefly

"According to Fichajes, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal are interested in the 26-year-old central defender. He is versatile enough to operate in the fullback areas as well, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition. Liverpool need to add more quality in depth to the defensive unit. Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season, and they will need to replace him."
"Arsenal are already well stocked in the defensive unit, and it would be a surprise if they decided to make a move for Uruguayan International. They might not be able to provide him with regular opportunities. The Barcelona defender will want to compete at the highest level, and he will want to play regularly. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him."
Ronald Araujo, a 26-year-old Barcelona central defender, has attracted interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal. He can also operate in fullback areas and would strengthen defensive depth. Liverpool need to add quality as Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season and will require replacement. Arsenal possess a well-stocked defensive unit and may be unlikely to provide regular starting opportunities. Chelsea have shown defensive vulnerability and could view Araujo as a major upgrade, especially if Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi depart. Barcelona are prepared to sell for around 50 million.
