Ronald Araujo has offered more lucrative transfer offers in the Premier League this summer. However, the centre-back has extended his long-term contract with FC Barcelona until 2026.

Araujo told Catalunya Radio that he was “happy”. “I want to try to spend all my career here in Barcelona. I only think of Barcelona.” Araujo was with the Blaugrana for four years and settled in the first team via the second team.

Despite pressure from the outside, Araujo and his management remained balanced. At the end of April, after long rounds of negotiations, a long-standing working document was signed, about which the 23-year-old had no doubts.

“There was a moment when we were apart, but it was clear to me that I would stay,” Araujo said. “There was some noise outside, but in the end there were only two meetings and a second meeting was quickly agreed. It was a ‘little effort’ on both sides.”
