Given their constant financial turmoil and the fact that Araujo has lost his departure, the defenders could become assets they are willing to let go at a reasonable price. On the other hand, there is no denying that the 26-year-old has the ability to compete in Anfield compared to Guehi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p>League Statistics P90 24\/25<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p>Araujo<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center;\">\n<p>Guehi<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Min<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>754<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3,059<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Progressive Pass<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5.83<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.94<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>The tackle won<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1.07<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Ball recovery<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3.21<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4.29<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Araujo, described as &#8220;strong&#8221; by Real Madrid&#8217;s Vinicius Jr., could be a coup that would amount to just over \u00a340 million.
