What will happen to Ronald Araujo? The mystery of his future remains open

Fate offered an unexpected opportunity to Ronald Araujo in the final of the Supercopa de España. The early injury of Iñigo Martínez allowed the Uruguayan to step in during the match against Real Madrid, playing over 80 minutes when it seemed he would watch the FC Barcelona victory from the bench. 

This situation could be a determining factor in his future, as just a few days ago, his departure to Juventus seemed to be a very real option. The 'bianconeri' are insisting on securing his services this January and are willing to do whatever it takes to convince the club and the player, but the absence of the Basque defender could close the door to his exit.

Araujo keeps mum about his future

For now, Araujo maintains the mystery surrounding his continuity at Barça. After the victory of the culés, the Uruguayan did not make any statements and limited himself to posting a tweet on his social media celebrating that the team is "Super Champion". The player was seen euphoric in the celebrations with his teammates, but doubts about his stay in the squad remain in the air.

As of today, the only certainty is that the defender is negotiating both his renewal with the Catalans and his possible new contract with Juventus. The future of the player from Rivera at Spotify Camp Nou is far from guaranteed, but it is expected that this week the 'soap opera' will come to an end after the meeting that Deco will hold with the player and his representatives to understand his intentions and the feasibility of his possible transfer.
