Liverpool 'in talks with Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo over a move to Anfield... while Chelsea also hold an interest in the Uruguay international' amid uncertain futures over Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen

Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with highly-rated young Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.

According to El Nacional, the Reds are prepared to double his wages in order to tempt him into making a move to Anfield.

The 22-year-old's contract expires in 2023, so Barcelona could be tempted to cash in on him while they can still command a transfer fee.
