The news of Ronald Araujo's loan move from FC Barcelona to Liverpool came out of the blue.
The story broke late on Friday night, and the Uruguayan defender will not travel with Barça's squad to the pre-season triangular tournament in Udine, as he prepares to complete his move to the Premier League.
As previously reported, the agreement between Barcelona and Liverpool includes an option to buy at the end of the loan spell if the English giants are satisfied with Araujo's performances.
The value of that clause had not initially been disclosed.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo Liverpool would have to pay €55 million to make the transfer permanent.
