Chelsea green light to sign Ronaldo Araujo in January

CHELSEA are reportedly very interested in raiding Barcelona in the transfer windows, as they are reportedly planning a move to sign defender Ronald Araujo in order to bolster their back-line issues.

Maresca is the man that the Chelsea board feel can take the club forward after Mauricio Pochettino failed to impress as coach of the club last season – and the Italian will be backed in the coming transfer window.

A number of players have already been brought to Stamford Bridge over the past few windows – but there is a feeling in the media that Chelsea need to sign players that have already proven themselves at the top of the game and could make an immediate impact.

Araujo suffered an injury in the summer that meant he would miss the start of this campaign, causing Barcelona to change up their back-line, and now there is not too much space in the side for the defender.

And According to reports, this has angered Araujo, with the player now open to leaving the club , and acccording to Fichajes, the English club would be willing to pay £60 million to strengthen their defense with the services of the experienced defender, in a move that could shake up the transfer market.

If Barcelona make the decision to sell the defender in the JANUARY window – he would be a brilliant addition to that CHELSEA side – especially now that Thiago Silva has left the club and headed back to Brazilian football.

Maresca will want players that are proven at the very top of the game and he will need the backing of the board if he is to get the players he feels could take the club forward in the coming season.

Araujo would be a great signing for the club that is for sure, he could take over as the leader in defence following Thiago Silva’s departure from Stamford Bridge.

We have seen the transfer policy from Chelsea over the past few windows – but at the end of the day – can we really see this young squad competing for that Premier League title against Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool with a bit of added experience to the side.
