The FC Barcelona star who would have decided to leave for free in 2026

The situation Ronald Araújo would begin to be a 'quebradero of head' for the FC Barcelona. The central defender has been in the 'eye of the hurricane' from the past season, when his low performance in determinate moments and punctual errors that cost him very expensive to the team put him in the centre of the criticisms. Besides, his controversial message in which 'happened' of the club lit the controversy in his against, with the fans showing his discontent with his attitudes.

These situations, added to the 'irruption' of Pau Cubarsí and the need of the entity blaugrana to do box, carried to the Catalan directive to put him in the list of transferibles. The plan of the institution was to perceive a near figure to the 90 million euros by his index card, with clubs like the Bayern Munich and the Manchester United more than interested in incorporating him to his teams, but the grave injury suffered in the Glass America, which will keep him four months in the dry dam after going through the operating theatre, has trastocado the strategy of the institution.

The physical state of the footballer leaves him out of market and will have to remain in the City Condal, where, in principle, expects that it was one of the pillars of the diagram of Hansi Flick, with Frenkie of Jong being the new 'sacrificed' to generate income. By this reason, the priority for the culés would go through to expand the agreement of the Uruguayan, which expires in June of 2026, in front of the 'threat' of several teams that would have interested in his contracting of face to the next summer, where his price of exit would see significantly more reduced.

Ronald would deny to renew

So much Deco like Laporta would want to avoid this stage at all costs and already would be in conversations to arrive to an agreement with the player and extend his bond with the club. However, 'The Nacional.cat' revealed that Araújo, by the moments, would have denied to sign a new agreement. The one of the Rivera would know that the time plays to his favour and would not have difficulties in taking a decision, by what exists the possibility that if the project of the German trainer does not convince him, the central would see with good eyes test a new challenge in another horizon.
