The 27-year-old Uruguayan international accepted a pay cut to facilitate the transfer, with Liverpool covering his full salary for the season and paying no loan fee to Barcelona. Araujo passed his medical on Monday and will immediately reinforce Liverpool's defence following injuries to Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremy Jacquet, and Conor Bradley. Having been appointed Barcelona captain in January, Araujo brings key leadership to Anfield to compensate for the summer departures of Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson, and Mohamed Salah. The defender becomes Liverpool's second signing under manager Iraola following Victor Munoz, while the club continues negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over winger Bradley Barcola.
