Barcelona club management is intensifying its efforts during this period to extend the contract of the Catalan team rock, to ensure that it remains in the ranks of the Blaugrana for as long as possible.
Paris Saint-Germain is interfering in the future of Araujo in Barcelona.
The renewal of Ronaldo Araujo’s contract with Barcelona has become tangled up, and with each passing day it can become more and more complicated given the interest that a player in the best teams in European football arouses.
This talk comes at a time when Paris Saint-Germain showed great interest in the player’s position with Barca, and he told his surroundings that he would take a step forward next summer.
Araujo’s contract with Barcelona is due to expire in June 2023, and if there is no agreement on his continuity, the club will have no choice but to put it on the market to sell it to whoever pays the highest price. And everything is in the hands of a player who only asks to be evaluated like the recent renewals sealed by Barcelona.
Araujo’s position has not changed much since January. Barcelona made the first offer with a salary of around three million net per season, a figure that would leave the central defender as one of the least profitable players in the squad despite the fact that he is a regular regular player and the undisputed defense leader. The proposal was interpreted by the player’s entourage as an invitation to leave, although Barcelona somewhat raised the proposal at a new meeting.
The differences are significant but not insurmountable because Araujo just wants to equal the latest renewals like those of Pedri and Ansu or another Ferran Torres signature, however, and despite his performance, his salary will be light years away from those of veterans like Pique and Jordi Alba. .
Araujo is willing to lose money as he has offers from Chelsea and Manchester United on the table for several months to sign him, and the two English clubs have been willing to pay for the transfer this summer or wait for him to arrive for free in June 2023.
Now Paris Saint-Germain has taken the same step in recent days and is waiting to see how talks develop with Barcelona. FC Barcelona would like to seal its renewal in this month ‘March’, but today the issue is complicated, and it will be necessary to see if the club can finally raise its proposal to Somewhat or decide to sell it in the summer, which is an absolute risk with an amazing defender.
