Ronald Araujo has responded directly to a question about a permanent move to Liverpool, according to This Is Anfield.
The Barcelona defender has been linked with Liverpool for months as a potential target for the club. What Araujo actually said, and whether he ruled out or left open a move, is not detailed in the report, which only notes that he addressed the question.
Liverpool have shown interest in the centre-back, though nothing has moved beyond that stage. Any concrete response from Araujo would be worth noting given the speculation, but the detail here is thin so far.
