Spanish journalist Marcos Benito told El Chiringuito TV that the Catalan club are interested in Uruguayan winger Maximiliano Araujo. Araujo, who plays for Mexican club Toluca, is enjoying a fantastic Copa America campaign. He scored against both Panama and Bolivia as Marcelo Bielsa's side went unbeaten in the group stage. With a release clause of €20m, the 24-year-old would be a much cheaper alternative to Williams.
