Man Utd, Liverpool in the hunt for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo

Manchester United and Liverpool are in the hunt for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo.

Araujo, 22, is set to have just a year remaining on his contract come the end of this season.

ESPN says Barca have made extending his deal a 'priority'.

Talks have taken place between the player's agents and club chiefs, but they are yet to come close to agreeing a deal.

The report adds, however, that there is a desire to get a deal done on both sides.

Should Barcelona not stump up the cash, they could lose the centre-back to the Premier League.

'Several' teams have contacted Araujo's representatives amid transfer speculation - with Man United and Liverpool keen.
