Ronald Araujo’s future occupies a large part of FC Barcelona’s thinking and planning, especially in light of the interest of many major European clubs in signing him, led by German club Bayern Munich.
Araujo has been performing excellently with Barcelona in the recent period, which made him an excellent target for those clubs, which made the process of staying in the Catalan club complicated. A huge offer has already arrived from the German club.
According to Marca, Bayern Munich sent an offer to Barcelona through an intermediary in which he said that he was ready to pay 100 million euros to obtain the services of the Uruguayan defender in the upcoming summer Mercato.
The amount of 100 million euros is huge and tempting, and the aim of its offer is to tempt the Barcelona administration to change its position of refusing to neglect Araujo in any way, as they consider him one of the pillars of the project that the club is building for the next decade.
Araujo surprises Barcelona
In order to resolve his future as quickly as possible after Bayern Munich’s offer arrived, Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, made an offer to renew Araujo’s contract until 2029 in meetings with his agent, but the Catalan club was surprised that the defender has not yet responded to the offer.
The Barcelona board are showing their desire to keep him at Barcelona with this new offer that improves on the contract the defender signed less than two years ago.
The ball is in Araujo’s court now and it is true that the impression they have at Barcelona is that there will be an agreement to renew the contract, but that can never be said with certainty, and even more so when there is a huge offer like Bayern Munich’s.
