Barça must fulfill the promise it made to Ronald Araújo who already sacrificed himself in 2022

Ronald Araújo is one of the best head offices of the world, can that the best, but his wage could say that it is like muco the one of a good acting in a team 'big'. The Uruguayan is winning something more than three millions and half of net euros to the year, that for somebody of his category and of his importance in the changing room of the FC Barcelona, is 'ridiculous'. The defender finish agreement in 2026, by what has pending to renew and in said negotiation wants that his performance and status see recompensando with a very upper wage to the that wins now.

It is necessary to remember that the defender accepted to win a wage that did not correspond him in 2022, when it signed his last enlargement. The Barça had then serious problems with the Fair Play and could not offer him a greater agreement, in spite of being conscious that it deserved it to him. In this moment, the charrúa already was indisputable in the Barcelona saga and even many already considered him the best defence of the team. Thus, taking into account that in the Premier League more than a team called to his door offering him much more, accept this index card was an enormous favour of the international by Uruguay to the picture culé.

In fact, as it aims the newspaper 'SPORT', Joan Laporta appreciated the gesture of Ronald and gave him his word that in what it could would review him the wage to improve it. However, they have happened already two years since and in the entity anybody has headed to he still for this rise. In the meantime, he has followed surrendering to the level of the best, reaching a value of 70 million euros in 'Transfermarkt', and can that even of 90 or 100 in the current market, if the Barça decided to sell him.

The negotiation goes to arrive very soon, but is not at all clear that Araújo go to listen what wants to hear. Deco Already has warned that the 'ball' is in his roof, leaving that fall that the Barça will do what can for offering him a competitive wage, but that it could not being what looks for. The central knows that it is the third captain, the leader of the defence and one of the most important players of the plantel by the differential that is backwards to the hour to defend to the best rival forwards, even to the extremes. Thus, the normal is that it ask easily the double to situate in the first places of the scale salarial culé.

Araújo Is the eleventh player of the Barça that more wins

For contextualising, in the changing room a total of eleven footballers win less than him: Lamine Yamal, Joao Félix, Fermín López, Vitor Roque, Gavi, Oriol Romeu, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto Alejandro Balde, Iñaki Crag and Marc-André ter Stegen, that differed his wage for this course, but that will see recompensado in the future. This wants to say that there are 10 players with better wage that the one of Rivera, that practically is in the half. His aim probably was to be behind Lewansowski (16 net millions the course that comes) and Ilkay Gündogan (almost 9), and put to the height of Frenkie of Jong that is on the 8 net. It would be more than the double of what wins now, by what in the rough the Barcelona would happen to have to pay some 7 to pay some 16, something that to level of mass salarial is a brutal rise.

As it hinted Deco, in the entity could not arriving to these quantities, and can that with luck they achieve to offer him 6 net, that would put him more or less to the height of Raphinha and Joao Cancel, that are to his time by behind Jules Koundé, that with 7 is the one who follows the trail of Frenkie. Although it would be a remarkable effort, the reality is that it is not what to Araújo promised him in 2022, since by status and level futbolístico no 'can' win less than Koundé or the same that the Brazilian and the Portuguese. The charrúa deserves more by performance and by the effort that did two years ago when accepting a proposal very to the drop of which never has complained in public.

If the FC Barcelona goes back to ask him to the defender that yield and win less than what deserves will be being unfair with him and will not be fulfilling the promise that did him. This could end in a request of traspaso, since although Araújo is very happy in the City Condal and prioritises to remain above all else, if it feels betrayed or unfairly treaty, the things could change. Anybody wants to that it arrive to this, but the 'ball', although the Barça do not see it like this, is really in the hands of the club and no in the ones of the player.
