Araujo discusses the renewal of the Barcelona contract
Speaking in an appearance in the recent media, Araujo reflected on the renewal of his contract, stating that he was always committed to staying in Barcelona despite speculation and is very happy to have signed a long -term agreement.
“I am happy to continue for many more years. I will give my life for this club. I was always very calm and clear about what I wanted. I am happy with how things turned out. I think it is reflected in the years I have signed “, Araujo said, as cited by Victor Navarro.
It should be remembered that after the triumph of the Spanish Super Cup of Barcelona against Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia, the veteran striker Robert Lewandowski could be seen trying to convince Araujo to continue in the club.
Speaking of that moment, the captain of Barcelona said: “I always had it clear, but in the end, we were negotiating a contract and we didn’t know how it would happen. Now I feel valued, which is the important thing. I was clear that I had left. “
As reported, the new Renewal of Contracts of Araujo comes with a release clause that has been reduced from its previous valuation of 1 billion euros.
On the other hand, it is said that the new clause is around 65 million euros, although the figure rises to a gigantic € 300-400 million for the big clubs in Europe, such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG.
