FC Barcelona is determined to secure one of its pillars and seems ready to implement all necessary measures to achieve this.
Despite a delicate financial situation, FC Barcelona strives to retain its key players, including Frenkie De Jong and Ronald Araujo.
The latter, a true pillar of the Catalan defense, attracts the attention of Bayern Munich, who wish to enlist him next summer.
Laporta warns Bayern
Aware of the German club’s interest in Araujo, Joan Laporta, president of Barça, sent a clear message to the Uruguayan defender. “I would give Ronald Araújo a lifetime contract here at Barcelona,” he declared during the presentation of the documentary dedicated to the player, in front of an audience of journalists.
This statement sounds like a warning to Bayern Munich and other Araujo suitors. Barça are determined to keep their central defender and are ready to offer him a long-term contract to dissuade him from leaving.
