Last season, it surely cost FC Barcelona the elimination in the Champions League in the quarter-finals of PSG. While the Catalans were quietly leading with two goals in the double confrontation, Ronald Araujo was the author of an avoidable foul on Bradley Barcola which caused his expulsion. From then on, the capital club had progressed and qualified without difficulty. A certainly traumatic episode for Araujo, who has been away from the field since the start of the season with the Blaugrana.
Hampered by a hamstring injury, the Uruguayan was unable to contribute to the excellent start to the season for Hansi Flick’s men. But as his return becomes clearer, Sport also indicates that the extension of the 25-year-old defender is on track at Barça. Indeed, according to the Catalan media, the first meetings took place between Deco, the Barcelona sports director, and the player’s managers. The latter would now be inclined to extend his lease with Barcelona even though he had received requests from several clubs last year and Flick would count heavily on him. As a reminder, Ronald Araujo is under contract with the Catalan team until June 2026.
