Liverpool set to sign Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo on loan

Liverpool is a famous football team in England.

They wanted a new defender to help stop the other team from scoring.

They agreed to borrow Ronald Araujo from Barcelona for one whole year.

Ronald is 27 years old and plays for Uruguay.

He has played more than 200 games for Barcelona.

Liverpool needs him because several defenders are hurt or have left.

Ibrahima Konate moved to Real Madrid, and new signing Jeremy Jacquet is still recovering from shoulder surgery.

Liverpool's captain Virgil van Dijk is the only fully fit senior defender.

Ronald did not play many games last season because he took a break for his mental health.

Liverpool hopes he can help them win more games this season.
