Ronald Araujo seems to have committed his future to Barcelona, but there is doubt about how long he will stay in Catalonia.
The Uruguay International reportedly wanted to leave La Blaugrana for Juventus in January, but Crunch talks to manager Hansi Flick and a new contract offer from Sporting Director Deco arranged his spirit.
After weeks of negotiations with his representatives, a deal was eventually mediated and he renewed his contract until 2031.
At first glance, the door seems to be closed in speculation over Araujo, with more innovations after his decision, including the last via midfield star Gavi.
In addition to a wage increase and a new deal for ARAUJO, it has been generally reported that he has a release clause of € 65 million in his new contract from a clause of € 1B in his previous deal. The implication was that Arajo would still have the chance to leave Barcelona if he decided, and a club set up enough money in the summer.
However, a new update by Marca has offered some clarity about the situation and the options for Araujo to continue in 2025.
The report indicates that the release clause of € 1 billion has remained in the new deal, but with an 'emergency clause' of € 70 million that is subject to strict conditions.
A temporary clause, for the above price, will come into play, but only from 1 to 10 July, when the value is reset to € 1 billion.
This is a one -off offer from Barcelona, because the reduced price will not be reactivated in 2026, and it offers interested clubs with the opportunity to insist a deal, but not allow conversations to drag.
Barcelona's decision may seem strange, but it is based on protecting their active and keeping the option to hold the option of the highly appreciated defenders in Europe.
