The Brazilian has spoke fondly of 🉐Araujo, admitting he’s the tou🐈ghest defender he’s faced.

“The best defender I have ever faced is Araujo. He’s very strong 𓂃and very good. That’s why he plays for Barca,” he .

Liverpool won at the weekend to keep up their title challenge as Mo Salah and Harvey Elliott rescued the🍎 win for them at Selhurst Park🐈.

Jurgen Klopp admitted last week that the club will look if they can do anythin🐭g in January but stopped short of saying that there will be incomings. Indeed, Klopp seemed annoyed at🐼 some of the questioning when it came to new signings.

Araujo, meanwhile, has been 🎃starring for Barcelona and has even captained them in their last two game💟s.

Quite whether Barca would consider selling him to an English club, remains to be seen. However, if a big bid is needed, theಌn English ꦜsides are probably best placed to do a deal.
