Ronald Araujo has been in fantastic form for Uruguay at this summer's Copa America, which Barcelona will no doubt enjoy – especially after last season's struggles. In any case, the supreme feeling with the 25-year-old is uncertainty, since his future continues to generate many doubts.

Barcelona have been trying for months to renew Araujo's contract, which expires in 2026. They are yet to have an answer, and if this continues in the latter stages of the summer, a sale could be on the cards.
If Araujo decides he wants to leave, Barcelona will not stand in his way. MD say that the Catalans do not want to sell, but they will sanction it if the player asks to be sold. In this situation, they only allow an agreement to be made if another club pays their asking price – €100 million.
Keeping Araujo is one of the main wishes again Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, and there is no doubt that the Uruguayan is a superior defender. It would be a massive blow if he were to go, although his sale would massively help raise funds for a major signing.
