Barcelona has no intention of selling a key player this summer, talks already planned on the new contract

Ronald Araujo's future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months. Bayern Munich are very interested in signing the Uruguayan defender, and recent reports have suggested that a deal could be possible in the summer.

It was stated that Barcelona may look to sell Araujo in the summer if he rejects a new contract. Speeches are scheduled for the coming months, but as MD say, there is no intention from the Catalans to sell, as they consider the 24-year-old to be their star defender.

The report claims that Araujo will be the latest defender to be considered for a sale this summer. Andreas Christensen and Jules Kounde have also been linked with possible departures, and at this stage, they are much more likely to move on.

Barcelona will need at least one significant sale this summer, but currently, it doesn't look like it would be Araujo. It's disappointing news for Bayern, who were hoping to get their man.
