FC Bayern is pushing ahead with squad planning. At FC Barcelona, an object of desire emerges that is apparently worth 100 million euros to FCB.
Munich/Barcelona – Max Eberl certainly won't be bored these days; FC Bayern's new sports director really can't complain about various construction sites. Germany's record football champions are exploring the player market and, in addition to a new defensive midfielder, may want to sign a replacement for Alphonso Davies and apparently another central defender. When it comes to Davies, Bayern want a prompt decision.

FC Bayern have been keen on Ronald Araujo for a long time
Ronald Araujo has been in Bavaria's sights for a long time. The dream player for the defense center has already publicly canceled. However, rumors about Munich's interest continue to be booming. The Spanish
Marca
is now reporting that Eberl and Co. are said to have informed FC Barcelona that they wanted to pay a transfer fee of 100 million euros for Araujo.
This is not an official offer, but a proposal that FCB made to Barca through an intermediary. In December, coach Thomas Tuchel and sports director Christoph Freund are said to have spoken to Araujo on the phone to make a move to Säbener Straße as palatable as possible for him - Tuchel later did not want to comment on the alleged exchange.

It's FC Bayern's turn, but Barca doesn't give up on Ronald Araujo
The ball is now in Araujo's court, who has been presented with an offer by Barca to extend his long-term contract until 2029. The 25-year-old himself has repeatedly emphasized in the past few weeks and months that he feels very comfortable at the Blaugrana and is concentrating on the current season. Typical footballer speak. So is there really something to be gained for Bayern?
Eberl had recently almost ruled out that Bayern would make another transfer of the magnitude of Harry Kane. The superstar initially costs a basic fee of 95 million euros, which can grow to up to 120 million euros through bonus payments.

However, such scenarios have not yet gone beyond speculation.
