Between Ronald Araujo and FC Barcelona, the love story definitely has many twists and turns. While the Uruguayan defender was increasingly announced close to a departure for Juventus Turin this winter, the situation now seems to take a completely different turn.
According to information from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Araujo would be in the process of extending his contract with the Catalan club, running until June 2026. An agreement in principle would have been found between the representatives of the South American rock and Deco, the sporting director Blaugranas.
After Araujo, Gavi, Pedri and Yamal in the viewfinder
But that’s not all. The transfer window specialist also specifies that Barça is working in parallel on the extensions of Gavi, Pedri and Lamine Yamal, whose contracts also expire in a year. If Araujo’s extension comes to fruition, it will undoubtedly constitute one of the most significant turnarounds of this winter transfer window.
As a reminder, some sources recently claimed that Barcelona management had resigned itself to selling the native of Rivera,
setting its price at 50 million euros. A sum that the Old Lady seemed ready to pay to strengthen its defensive positions.
