Thunderclap at Barça, a manager wants to leave the club!
Ronald Araujo is angry with Barca and is now considering leaving the Catalan club, according to Sport.
Barcelona's mainstay in defence, Ronald Araujo, will be out for four months after suffering an injury in the Copa America quarter-final triumph over Brazil. Following surgery, Araujo is expected to return in late November or December. However, his salary space will be taken up by others, preventing him from playing in La Liga until 2025. Faced with this situation, the Uruguayan defender is frustrated by the club's decision not to register him in La Liga until January, as he has been working hard towards his return and feels ready to play sooner.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo's contract situation is uncertain. Although he is tied to Barça until 2026, negotiations for a contract extension have stalled. The club offered an extension last January, but Araujo has not yet responded, being dissatisfied with the offer economically. Barça sporting director Deco has reportedly suggested selling the defender if a contract extension is not agreed soon. According to Sport, this frustration with the current situation and contractual dissatisfaction could push Ronald Araujo to leave the club as early as January.
The next few months will be decisive to know if the talented Uruguayan central defender will continue to play for Barça or if he will seek to explore new horizons. Watch this space!
