Ronald Araujo will be part of Liverpool next season, after arriving on loan from Barcelona. Ronald Araujo has joined Liverpool on loan from Barcelona for the 2026-27 season, with a verbal agreement between the two clubs reached on Friday and approved by Barcelona sporting director Deco. The Uruguayan defender is set to undergo his medical on August 8 before the move is finalized. The deal is structured as a season-long loan that includes an option, but not an obligation, for Liverpool to sign Araujo permanently at its conclusion. That setup allows the Reds to evaluate his fitness and form, which dipped following a 2024 injury setback, before committing to a longer-term deal, while also giving Barcelona breathing room on their salary cap to register the rest of their squad for the season. Araujo‘s departure comes after he fell down Barcelona’s defensive pecking order despite being one of the club’s four captains. Eric Garcia, Gerard Martin, and Pau Cubarsi have established themselves as Hansi Flick’s preferred center-backs, while Jules Kounde remains first-choice at right-back. The 27-year-old, who debuted for Barcelona in 2019 and has made 213 appearances with 14 goals, still holds a contract at the club through 2031 after renewing in January 2025. 🚨🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool agree loan deal to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, HERE WE GO! 🇺🇾Verbal agreement club to club with Barça now approved by director Deco.New centre back for #LFC with a surprise bomba. pic.twitter.com/kK4GIifmff— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 7, 2026 For Liverpool, the move addresses an urgent need at the back. The club lost Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid on a free transfer, and head coach Andoni Iraola has been dealing with injuries to Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, prompting him to request defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes. Barcelona looking to reinforce defense after Araujo’s exit Araujo’s departure could coincide with Barcelona strengthening the very position that pushed him down the pecking order in the first place. The club is reportedly closing in on a two-year deal for Joao Cancelo, who would arrive from Al-Hilal for around €10 million. Should the move go through, Flick would have two established options at right-back between Cancelo and Kounde, further reducing the need for Araujo as defensive cover on that side and reinforcing the logic behind sending him out on loan.
A full breakdown of the 17 managerial changes following the 2026 World Cup, featured by high-profile appointments like Zinedine Zidane and Jürgen Klopp. It would be fair to say that international football management has become a cut-throat business if the 2026 World Cup is anything to go by. Belgium boss Rudi García’s exit following the expiry of his contract on July 31 took the number of managerial departures to 17 this summer. Read on as we look at which managers have left their roles this summer, before assessing some of the noteworthy appointments to replace them. International managerial exits: Summer 2026 Didier Deschamps (France) – Ended his 14-year spell in charge after the World Cup.Roberto Martínez (Portugal) – Resigned after Portugal’s round of 16 defeat to Spain.Julian Nagelsmann (Germany) – Quit after Germany were beaten by Paraguay in the round of 32.Rudi García (Belgium) – Exited following Belgium’s run to the quarter-finals.Zlatko Dalić (Croatia) – Ended his tenure following Croatia’s round of 32 exit against Portugal.Javier Aguirre (Mexico) – Resigned after Mexico lost against England in the round of 16.Ronald Koeman (Netherlands) – Left after the Netherlands exited in the round of 32.Sebastián Beccacece (Ecuador) – Resigned after Ecuador’s round of 32 elimination.Marcelo Bielsa (Uruguay) – Stepped down after Uruguay’s World Cup campaign.Steve Clarke (Scotland) – Resigned after Scotland failed to progress beyond the group stage.Hong Myung-bo (South Korea) – Left after South Korea’s early exit.Sabri Lamouchi (Tunisia) – Sacked after Tunisia’s opening 5–1 defeat at the tournament.Miroslav Koubek (Czechia) – Stepped down following Czechia’s group-stage elimination.Pape Thiaw (Senegal) – Had his contract terminated after Senegal’s exit.Carlos Queiroz (Ghana) – Resigned after Ghana were eliminated in the round of 32.Jamal Sellami (Jordan) – Left his position after Jordan’s early exit.Vladimir Petković (Algeria) – Exited following Algeria’s disappointing campaign. Zidane & Klopp headline new managerial appointments Zinedine Zidane and Jürgen Klopp are the standout names on the list of replacements announced by international federations to date. Zidane, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, has been out of management since leaving Real Madrid for a second time in 2021. The 54-year-old has now been tasked with building on the foundations laid by Deschamps. He will lead France through the 2030 World Cup qualifiers. “I’ve often said it – there’s nothing greater than the French national team,” Zidane said. “So, it’s a joy and obviously a great source of pride to become the manager of this French national team. “It’s also a responsibility. I want to thank [French Football Federation] president Philippe Diallo, the executive committee, and the French Football Federation for their confidence and acknowledge the 14 years of service from Didier and his staff. “I also have a special thought for all my coaches. Needless to say, I have high ambitions for the French national team.” The German Football Association’s decision to turn to Klopp was no real surprise given the lack of viable alternatives. The 59-year-old previously re-established Liverpool as a force in English football, before joining Red Bull GmbH as Head of Global Soccer in January 2025. He will now work to restore the fortunes of a team which has struggled to live up to its billing since last winning the World Cup in 2014. Portugal will embark on a new era after Martínez stepped aside. Jorge Jesus has replaced him after spending the last three years in the Saudi Pro League. Jesus must determine how best to handle veteran forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has given no indication that he will retire from international football. Martínez made the mistake of pandering to Ronaldo at the World Cup, and his decision ultimately resulted in them making an early exit from the tournament. Jesus, who managed Ronaldo at Al-Nassr last season, has suggested that the 41-year-old wi
