Los Angeles Galaxy right back Julian Araujo is being pursued by Barcelona as the European transfer window nears its ending, as the La Liga giants hope to add him on loan with an option to buy.

Barcelona are said to have been tracking the 21-year-old Araujo for some time and see him as a replacement should Hector Bellerin in fact leave and head to Sporting Libson to fill the hole left by Pedro Perro's move to Tottenham Hotspur. 

According to ESPN Araujo would immediately join Barca's B team if signed, but that the club feel he has the potential to be involved with the first team in a short matter of time.
