Ronald Araujo's future has taken a drastic turn in the past 24 hours, with the defender now keen to sign a new contract with Barcelona. He had wanted to leave the club earlier this month, but now it is almost certain that he will stay in Catalonia.
The news surprised many Barcelona supporters, who had been resigned to Araujo's departure – most likely to Juventus, as they had pushed hard to secure his services during this month's winter transfer window. However, it is true, and it has now been confirmed by Gavi, who spoke to the media (via MD) after Wednesday's 5-1 win over Real Betis.
“Many journalists make up a lot of things. Araujo wants to stay and I trust he will.”
For Barcelona it is very good news that Araujo is staying, and he was in very good form during the win over Betis. There is no doubt that this is a very good time to be associated with the Catalan giants.
