Barcelona star Ronald Araujo has moved to still speculation that he could still leave in the summer, despite the extension of his contract until 2031 last week. The Uruguayan defender reportedly wanted to leave the Blaugrana for Juventus earlier in the January transfer window, but talks to manager Hansi Flick, and a new contract offer from Sporting Director Deco seem to have arranged his doubts.
In addition to the wage increase and New Deal, it has been generally reported that ARAUJO has a release clause of € 65 million in his new contract from a clause of € 1B in his previous deal. The implication was that Araujo would still have the opportunity to leave Barcelona if he decided he wanted that, and a club stood up enough money in the summer. In the past, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are linked to him, while Arsenal reportedly interested in January.
Araujo, however, has been done his utmost to calm down the conversation about a departure, after Barcelona with Atalanta pulled in the Champions League. He explained that he was not going to go anywhere.
If it depends on me, I am sure I will be here for years. You don't know what I did to be here. I don't know what came out, but there is Ronald in Barcelona for a while. Not everything that is said is true, I have always given my life for this club, in every way since I arrived in 2018. I have played, exploited … I have given my life and I will always continue to give it . I am very happy here in Barcelona, we did a great job and now I feel appreciated. “
Araujo was also happy with Barcelona's performance in their 2-2 draw.
“It was a very nice game for the people who watched it. We wanted first place, but it was not possible. I am happy because we had a good first phase of the Champions League. We had it close by, “he noticed that sport is the opportunity to end the top of the competition phase, with a different goal against Atalanta enough to move the side of Arne Slot.
