There are several players in this FC Barcelona squad whose contracts are running out in the next two years, and one of the top priorities of the Blaugrana Sporting Department is to ensure the renewal of some of the most important of these players.

In this regard, they made significant progress yesterday, as they achieved one of their main objectives, i.e., the renewal of Ronald Araújo. The Uruguayan defender signed his new contract with the Catalan club in President Joan Laporta’s office yesterday, and with this new contract, his commitment to Barcelona goes till 2031.

In the last few weeks, the 25-year-old center-back has been strongly linked with a move away from the Blaugrana club, with Juventus keenly interested in signing him on a loan with a purchase option.

Previously, the Catalans were also reportedly open to allowing him to leave if a good offer came in, but things changed after the injury suffered by Iñigo Martínez in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.

After that game, Deco met the player, and convinced him to remain at Barcelona, and the fruits of this meeting were enjoyed by the club yesterday as Araújo renewed his contract.

Following this renewal, Araújo also left a message for the Blaugrana fans, thanking them for their support and showing his happiness in being a part of this Barcelona team. As FC Barcelona’s official page posted, the Uruguayan’s message went as:

“Hi Culers! Very happy to renew, living dream. Thank you for your support. Let’s hope for many more years together. Let’s go! Força Barça!”

There is no doubt that the presence of Ronald Araújo in the Barcelona squad is very important. Hopefully, he will now be able to concentrate fully on the upcoming important matches, especially as his future at Barcelona is now much more certain.
