Significant Buyout Clause for Araujo if Liverpool Opts for Permanent Deal

Liverpool would need to shell out €55 million if they decide to permanently sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, according to “Mundo Deportivo.” This figure represents the buyout clause stipulated in the negotiations between the two clubs for the defender's loan move to Anfield. However, this clause is not obligatory.

As previously reported, the Barcelona captain is heading to Liverpool on loan for the upcoming season. Earlier today, he was seen at Barça's training ground to collect his belongings. Understandably, he is not with the Spanish squad in Udine for today's friendly matches against Nottingham Forest and Udinese.

Furthermore, the Merseyside club will cover Araujo's full salary, which in turn frees up funds for Barcelona's anticipated acquisition of Rodri from Manchester City at Spotify Camp Nou.
