Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool do have an option-to-buy clause in their loan agreement with Barcelona for Ronald Araujo. The Italian journalist previously reported on Friday that Liverpool’s agreement with Barcelona does not include a right-to-buy clause for Araujo worth €55m (¢47m), but he has now corrected himself.

On Saturday, he said: “I wanted to clarify something I was mentioning on a podcast that Araujo didn’t have a buy option clause. The Uruguayan has impressed massively since moving to Anfield, and there is a future at the club for him if he wants it. ?? ????????? – @FabrizioRomano: I wanted to clarify something I was mentioning on a podcast that Araujo didn’t have a buy option clause.
