The 25-year-old Uruguayan international is a priority target for Juventus, who are pushing hard for his signature, and an initial offer was even rejected by the club. blaugrana.
Araujo, for his part, has not revealed much regarding his intentions regarding his future at the club. The defender has maintained that his contract with Barcelona is being negotiated but as things stand it seems that he is “more out than in.”
The locker room believes Araujo in his departure
In fact, the sentiment is shared by Araujo’s teammates at Barcelona, who, according to ARA, believe that the veteran defender and one of the club’s captains is very close to leaving.
“This time it seems serious” Some within the locker room have commented on Araujo’s intentions.

Araujo, according to the report, has been unhappy with renewal offers that do not align with promises made during a period of financial crisis when he extended his contract in 2021.
In fact, he has received offers from other clubs that exceed both his current mandate and Barcelona’s renewal proposal.

Barcelona opens up after Araujo leaves
Barcelona wants to avoid losing Araujo without financial compensation, given that his current contract expires in 2026.
With this summer marking the last chance to secure a significant transfer fee, the Catalans are open to speeding up the process. There is even the possibility that an agreement could be reached in the current winter period.
If Araujo submits a lucrative offer, the club is willing to negotiate, and the defender will attract interest from Juventus and Arsenal.
Furthermore, Barcelona have plans to secure the centre-back position in the near future. They are leading the race to sign Jonathan Tah on a free transfer and are close to triggering an automatic one-year extension for Íñigo Martínez.
With his role reduced and competition for his position intensifying, Araujo’s future at Barcelona looks increasingly uncertain.
