Barcelona captain finally addresses contract renewal negotiations – ‘We are talking’

Ronald Araujo’s return to action in Barcelona’s recent Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro has sparked a lot of interest.

This was not just any return; It marked his first game back after recovering from an injury that kept him sidelined for a significant period.

To add to the occasion, Araujo was named starter and captain, a testament to his importance within the team.

However, it was not just his performance on the field that attracted attention: questions quickly arose about his contract renewal.

Talking about the contract

Araujo’s current contract with Barcelona has one and a half seasons remaining, and fans are naturally eager to see him commit to a longer stay.

Speculation has grown about his future, especially with no guarantees yet that he will extend his stay at the club.

Despite this uncertainty, Araujo appears to be focused on returning to fitness and helping the team on the field. Talks between the player and the club regarding his renewal are ongoing, but there is no definitive update yet.

“We are talking to the club about my renewal, but I am focused on playing again and getting minutes.” he said after the match as cited by Mundo Deportivo.

“Will I continue 100% at Barça? “We are talking to the club.” he added.

Araujo’s contract situation is being closely monitored as Barcelona’s management is also dealing with other pressing matters.

Among them, the signing of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor stands out, two players that the club seems determined to integrate into the squad. Araujo has recognized that these processes are part of the broader discussions within the club.

“The club tells me that they will resolve the signings of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, he pointed out.
