FC Barcelona decided: Ronald Araujo will not be sold this summer, unless the player himself active his release clause of 60 million euros, valid only from July 1 to 15, indicates Mundo Deportivo. Despite a mixed season marked by a summer injury and persistent rumors around a departure, especially towards Juventus, the club, Deco and Hansi Flick in mind, absolutely wishes to keep the Uruguayan defender.
Barça admits that the explosion of Pau Cubarsí has diverted attention and exposed Araujo to criticisms sometimes deemed unfair. However, the Blaugranas underline its solid performance in the big meetings, as in Super Cup against Real Madrid or against Atlético in the King's Cup. With the uncertain future of Christensen and the advanced age of Iñigo Martínez, the 26 -year -old remains essential, and the club will do nothing to facilitate a departure. Internally, we see him able to become the best defender in the world … if he remains Catalan.
