The future of Ronald Araujo took a drastic turn in the last 24 hours, wwith the defender now wanting to sign a new contract in Barcelona. He had wanted to leave the club earlier this month, but now, it is almost certain that he will stay in Catalonia.
The news surprised many Barcelona supporters, who had resigned themselves to Araujo's departure – most likely to Juventus, as they had pushed hard to secure his services during this month's winter transfer window. However, it is true, and now it has been confirmed by Gavi, who spoke to the media (via MD) after Wednesday 5-1 win over Real Betis.
“Many journalists do many things. Araujo wants to stay and I trust that he will do so.”
It is very good news for Barcelona that Araujo will stay, and he was in very good form during the victory over Betis. There is no doubt that now is a great time to be associated with the Catalan giants.
