Confirmed : Manchester United beats chelsea in signing Barcelona best defender .

 Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo

 has given an update on his future 

amidst reported interest from Premier

 League duo Manchester United 

and Chelsea.




The Uruguayan has been a stalwart 


for Xavi at the core of Blaugrana's defense


 this season. He most recently scored


 in a huge 4-0 El Clasico win over Real Madrid.



But there has been uncertainty over


 Araujo's future at the Nou Camp, with 


his contract set to expire in 2023.



Manchester United and Chelsea have


 both been linked with moves for the


 defender. SPORT have claimed United


 are preparing an offer.



But Araujo has moved to state his


 position on his situation, saying (


via Metro):



"I am very happy to be here 

and happy with the support 

of the club. We are working.

 This week we have a meeting

. I hope it will be resolved 

soon so that I can continue 

many years at this club. 

I am optimistic."


These comments will likely put an 


end to Manchester United and Chelsea's


 interest in the highly-rated centre-back.



That is, unless talks do not reach 


a successful conclusion, in which 


case the Premier League duo may


 look to pounce.



Barcelona need to keep hold 

off Ronald Araujo amidst Manchester

 United and Chelsea interest




Both Manchester United and Chelsea


 are on the lookout for defensive


 reinforcements. Understandably 


so, the imposing defender has seemingly


 been viewed as one of the leading 


targets for both sides.



And with good reason, given 


Araujo has been hugely impressive 


at the back for Barca.



He has six goals in 73 appearances


 for Barcelona during his two years


 at the club.



Xavi has masterminded a huge 


turnaround at the Nou Camp since 


his appointment in November. The 


defensive side of the revamp can 


be attributed to Araujo's performances.



Araujo has frequently featured alongside


 veteran Gerard Pique. The duo has


 been in fine form, with Barcelona 


having lost just one La Liga game 


in 17 under Xavi.



The turnaround is pushing Barcelona 


towards a potential title challenge at 


the business end of the season. 


They currently sit second, twelve 


points off leaders Real Madrid but 


do have a game in hand.



With UEFA Champions League 


qualification looking assured, they 


will know that their Uruguayan centre-


half has a huge part to play in the 


club's future success.



This, despite the fact that Barca have


 brought in Andreas Christensen and 


are targeting Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea.



Nevertheless, Araujo's future seems 


to be getting clearer as he looks to 


stay at the Nou Camp beyond his 


current deal.
