BARÇA IS 'WAITING' FOR ARAÚJO
Ronald Araújo continues to give Barça the runaround despite losing Bayern's card
FC Barcelona is counting on Ronald Araújo for next season, but the player has not yet decided his future and negotiations for a renewal have not 'moved'
The future of Ronald Araújo is not clear and in the FC Barcelona begin to concern in front of a possible change of 'posture' of the footballer of face to the season 2024/2025. Recently, it commented that "I am very well, I am calm. Have agreement until the 2026", but with the nuance that "now my representatives will gather with the club, but now am centred in the selection". Since, they have increased the rumours on a possible movement during this summer.
In the Barcelona group have he, although until does some weeks informed that in the Barça, in front of the overbooking of head offices, saw him like a player 'prescindible'. The arrival of Hansi Flick to the bench changed the position of the Catalans, put in addition to considering him like one of the best head offices of the world, understands that it is one of the leaders of the changing room and would be very difficult to achieve him a relief. To day of today, Araújo is in the plans of the club for the 2024/25.
Total uncertainty with the plans of Araújo
However, the uncertainty is maximum. An information of the journalist Matteo Moretto suggests that it is negotiating the renewal of the agreement of the footballer of 25 years, but for the moment there is not agreement. It has not given green light to extend his stay in the Barça further of 30 June 2026 and everything seems to indicate to that it will be necessary to expect until after the dispute of the Glass America so that Araújo take the definite decision on his plans for his immediate future.
It does not be necessary to overlook the fact that the central, as it informed does some weeks, felt 'injured' by all what lived in the final stretch of the season. His performance went down considerably and the error that committed in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, against Paris Saint-Germain, caused that they began to appear informations -once again and almost as always- on his future. Araújo Felt that the club no him 'backed' when more it needed the support. And it can be a factor that play a key paper in the election of his future.
Future in the air for Araújo
The priority will keep on being to remain in the City Condal, but every time seems more possible that leave the open door. Right now, there is not some team that have 'launched' to tackle his signing, taking in account that, although the Bayern of Munich had tightened to achieve his incorporation, with the arrival of Vincent Kompany to the bench has cooled the interest. Another option would be the Manchester United, if finally it arrives Thomas Tuchel.
