Manchester United have reportedly offered Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo a contract of £8.4m a year to make the move to Old Trafford.
The 22-year-old has been a vital player for his Catalan club during the 2021-22 campaign, making 25 appearances in all competitions, including 17 outings in La Liga.
Araujo has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Camp Nou, though, and there has recently been a host of speculation surrounding his future.
Man United are allegedly lining up a 'big offer' for the Uruguay international in the hope of bringing him to the club ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
According to journalist Dario Montero, speaking to El Chiringuito, the 20-time English champions have offered the defender a salary worth £8.4m a year.
Montero claims that Barcelona would not be able to match that figure due to their financial problems, although the Catalan outfit are believed to be calm about the situation.
Barcelona boss Xavi recently said that the club want to extend Araujo's deal "as soon as possible".
