Of course the two clubs were reportedly in talks over Frenkie de Jong two years ago, and Manchester United also showed an interest in Ronald Araujo during his contract talks last time round. Both have publicly maintained they are content in Barcelona, but the club may benefit from a sale of one or both. At any rate, Barcelona will need to make at least one major sale this summer.
