What happened. Ronald Araujo has made a strong impression since joining Liverpool on loan from Barcelona, but a permanent move is far from certain. Liverpool owners FSG rarely sign loan players permanently, casting doubt over a £50m deal.

• Araujo arrived at Liverpool on loan from Barcelona in the summer.
• Liverpool hold a £47m option to make the move permanent.
• FSG's policy of not often buying loanees puts the deal in doubt.

Araujo's form may force Liverpool to weigh a permanent swoop against FSG's usual reluctance to buy loanees.
