Despite being one of the most important and valuable players in the FC Barcelona squad, the future of Ronald Araujo at the Catalan club has been subject to a lot of uncertainty over the last few months.
The Uruguayan is currently with his national team, awaiting the start of the Copa America 2024, with his first match scheduled for this coming Monday against Panama. While he is currently focused on this tournament, his future with Barcelona will also be on his mind.
However, President Joan Laporta has never been in favour of parting with the Uruguayan, and this is especially true now as he is the ideal defender for a team led by Hansi Flick which is always playing on the front foot and needs a centre-back as quick and strong as him to put out fires.
As a result, these negotiations were put on hold, but according to SPORT, the player’s entourage is approaching this matter with calm, and assures the club that Araujo wants only to play for Barcelona, as the defender himself has publicly declared on more than one occasion.
