Barcelona chief sends clear message over Manchester United transfer target

Barcelona sporting director Deco has spoken out on the future of the club’s important players ahead of the summer, making it clear that they don’t want to sell the likes of Ronald Araujo or Frenkie de Jong.

Araujo was recently a target for Manchester United, according to Florian Plettenberg in the post on X below, and it makes sense that the talented Uruguay international could be on the Red Devils’ radar after a difficult season in which Lisandro Martinez has missed a lot of games through injury, while Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane have both been in and out of the starting line up.
