On October 31, 2026, former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson urged his old club to trigger a £47 million buy option for Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo. Johnson believes the Uruguayan would be a valuable addition to the Reds' defence.
According to reports, Liverpool have an option to sign Araujo permanently for £47m following a loan spell. Johnson said he would be surprised if Liverpool did not want to make the move permanent given the player's performances.
