Ronald Araujo has played his way into the hearts of Liverpool supporters since arriving in a surprise loan deal from Barcelona in August. Slotting into Andoni Iraola’s starting XI at right-back, Araujo looks like a player reborn from his struggles at Barca, leaving many fans hoping that the Reds will trigger the £47m option to buy him permanently.The earliest opportunity to do that will arrive in the January transfer window, but according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool will take longer to decide whether Araujo should become a permanent member of their squad.Liverpool fans, you have £10 to spend on your dream front three, who are you picking and why?

Liverpool won’t decide on Araujo in January Based on his performances so far, Araujo would absolutely be worth Liverpool shelling out the near-£50m needed to sign him from Barcelona. Many of you ask me about rumours on Liverpool already activating the buy clause for Araujo, the buy option clause is 55 million Euros, in the January transfer window.

Obviously, Liverpool are aware of that, but when you buy the player on a permanent it’s different. “They are delighted with Araujo, very happy with his performances, but Liverpool will decide in 2027, so all the rumours coming out now about Liverpool and Araujo are not true, it’s just speculation.” If Araujo continues at his current level, it will be brave of Liverpool to ignore the chance to bring him in for next season.
