Ronald Araujo’s situation at FC Barcelona has become more complicated over the months since his red card received on April 16, 2024 against PSG in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League but especially his serious hamstring injury this summer with his selection . His extension was one of the important issues for management last season but the different offers on the table made the player think about his future. Today, AS reveals that a painful decision was made concerning him.
Its extension is no longer a priority
The Spanish daily specifies that with the progress of negotiations between Barça and Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah for a free arrival this summer, the contractual situation of Ronald Araujo is no longer a priority. A turnaround when the club wanted to resume discussions with the Uruguayan who is at the end of his contract in June 2026 upon learning that the player wanted to continue the Blaugrana adventure. His repeated physical injuries and his hints of a departure pushed the club to change their decision for him. A real blow for one of the four captains of the Catalan team.
