Liverpool are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan, according to BBC News.
The Uruguay international would move to Anfield with an option to make the switch permanent, per the report, as Arne Slot looks to bolster his defensive options.
Araujo has been a key figure for Barcelona in recent seasons, though his future at the Camp Nou has been the subject of speculation. Should the loan move be finalised, it would represent a significant addition to Liverpool's backline ahead of the new campaign.
Further details on the structure of the option to buy, as well as timing of any official announcement, are yet to emerge. GoalPoles will provide updates as the story develops.
