Laporta’s big update on Araujo

Will leave, will not leave… As is a tradition in Catalonia, the transfer market is a particularly lively period, with rumors of departures and arrivals in all directions. Among the possible departures this year, we find that of Ronald Araujo, the defender who has just returned from injury and is particularly appreciated by Juventus Turin. If the sports sector hopes to be able to count on it, a big financial offer could well change the positions, because the Spanish team is still in great difficulty and an inflow of money of the order of 60 to 70 million euros would resolve lots of problems.

“I want Araújo to stay”

Present in front of the media for a major press conference, Joan Laporta, the president of the Blaugrana, was invited to speak on this subject. He took the opportunity to make a big point about the Uruguayan: “We want the players we have in the team to continue. He has a valid contract, but he is discussing with sports management. We will find a solution. We really appreciate him on a professional level, but especially on a personal level. There are circumstances that I don’t want to detail, but there is room to find a solution that satisfies everyone“, he explained, thus leaving the door open, before closing the subject by explaining that it was the role of Deco, his sports director, to manage this: “You should ask Deco… I want Araújo to stay. I think we can find a solution. I like Ronald, he’s a great player and a great man. For certain reasons, he is talking to the sports sector. There is still room for a solution“. The message is clear.
