Ronald Araujo has become one of the most important Barcelona players during the last 2 seasons. But the Uruguayan defender has not yet signed a contract renewal with the Spanish club, and this situation has attracted the attention of rival teams in Europe, which are interested in the player's card.
Araujo has improved significantly in recent months, consolidating his positions on the team. Reports in Spain suggest that the 22-year-old wants his appearances to be reflected in Barcelona's new proposal, but so far, the Catalans have not met Araujo's expectations.
Manchester United and Chelsea are actively looking for center-backs, and the Barcelona player is on the radar of English teams. But the Catalans' historic rivals, Real Madrid, are said to be monitoring the situation, although a sensational transfer from the Camp Nou to the Santiago Bernabeu is unlikely to happen.
Due to the financial difficulties that Barcelona is suffering, the club's management has to give up other players, before offering Araujo a better deal. But this remains a difficult target, as the Catalans have spent a lot of money to bring in the team Ferran Torres from Manchester City. At the same time, President Laporta has expressed several times with great confidence that he will bring the Dortmund bomber to the team, Erling Haaland.
It is known that this operation is quite costly, and Barcelona has to make sacrifices. Araujo's current contract with the club runs until 2023. Likewise, Barcelona's other talent, Gavi, has an active contract until 2023. But even the latter, has not yet decided to renew, and the media suggest that he is considering the options available.
