Barcelona returned from Saudi Arabia on a wave of euphoria following their Spanish Super Cup win over Real Madrid, which was executed in emphatic style. Amid many rumors about his future, Ronald Araujo performed excellently from the bench and looked elated after the match.
The Uruguayan is the subject of interest from Juventus, and there was some suggestion that the Super Cup win could have changed minds, especially with a first-team stretch beckoning following an injury to Inigo Martinez that left him out of action at the very least will be. five weeks. Alfredo Pedulla reports that this will not change anything for him at least on Araujo's side, and that his decision to leave remains firm. His information is that Araujo wants a new challenge abroad but has not been offered a contract that reflects his demands in the first place.
After the match, Robert Lewandowski was seen trying to persuade Araujo to stay at Barcelona, suggesting he informed his teammates of his decision, as reported. Juventus are considering making a bid of €50 million, while Arsenal remain interested. A meeting between Araujo and Barcelona sporting director Deco this week would be a key point in the equation.
