Barcelona are hoping to sign a contract in the coming weeks, but the most important part could instead be a contract extension, namely that of Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan defender looked destined to leave the Catalan giants this month, but after a major turnaround earlier this week, he looks set to stay.
It has been reported that Araujo is now close to signing a new contract with Barcelona, and according to MD, club officials are confident this will be agreed next week. This new deal would bring a significant wage increase, while his release clause would also be reduced to an amount more achievable for interested clubs.
Araujo sees his current contract expire at the end of next season, although Barcelona are keen to secure his future at the club as soon as possible. As things stand, they are confident, although Juventus could make another move in the coming days.
