Liverpool have completed the season-long loan signing of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, the Premier League club announced on Monday. The 27-year-old Uruguay international, who made 213 appearances and scored 14 goals for Barcelona, will wear the No.33 jersey. The deal is subject to a work permit and international clearance. The agreement reportedly includes an option to make the move permanent for around £47 million, though the clause is not obligatory. Araujo is Liverpool's third signing of the summer, following Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz. He joins amid an injury crisis that has left captain Virgil van Dijk as the only fully fit senior centre-back.
