Senior Barcelona star Luis Suarez played a key role in persuasion Ronald Araujo to stay in Catalonia.
Araujo, who is currently sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury, has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona at the start of 2024.
With the club looking to balance their delicate financial situation, Araujo has been tipped for a move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich as part of a potential €100m move.
A big transfer fee would have completely changed Barcelona's ability to compete in the transfer window but the desire to keep the Uruguayan remains strong.
According to a report from World of SportsSuarez spoke to his international partner about the situation, at a critical point in the transfer speculation.
Suarez is said to have told Barcelona of his vision of Araujo considering an exit, and his intervention has helped ease tensions for both sides, with La Blaugrana still working on a deal to extend his contract beyond the 2026.
