Premier League side Aston Villa have been linked with a surprise move for Ronald Araujo after securing fourth place in the table and a Champions League spot for next season.

Diario Sport are reporting that manager Unai Emery and sporting director Monchi had already warned Barca they would move for Araujo if they secured a place in Europe’s premier club competition.

That dream has now come true and Villa may go on to make a formal offer to Barcelona for their Uruguayan defender. Emery’s side plan to sell Diego Carlos first to free up some space for Araujo.
