Inter Milan Withdraws from Araujo Deal

Inter Milan has withdrawn its interest in signing Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo, after considering that the financial demands set by the Catalan club are high and unsustainable at the moment.

A report from "Corriere dello Sport" stated that Barcelona's management has set the player's price at around 50 million euros, a figure that the Italian club deemed economically unfeasible for strengthening their defense.

The report clarified that Inter Milan had shown interest in signing the Uruguayan defender in the past period, before deciding to withdraw from the deal completely due to Barcelona's insistence on his financial value and the club's unwillingness to reduce it.

The source indicated that the Italian club has already started exploring alternative options in the transfer market after withdrawing from the race to sign Araujo.

Ronald Araújo has a long-term contract with Barcelona that extends until 2031, and the player is keen to remain with the Catalan team, as he is considered one of its key players and leaders in the dressing room.
