Barcelona reportedly confident about Araujo’s contract renewal

Barcelona are reportedly optimistic about Ronald Araujo’s contract renewal, believing he will accept their offer once talks resume. Discussions have been paused due to his injury, but a meeting between Araujo’s representatives and Deco is expected once he’s closer to returning to full fitness.

The situation is far more promising compared to last season, when both parties were uncertain about each other’s intentions. Barcelona were concerned Araujo might leave for another club, while his agents feared the club might sell him to resolve financial fair play issues.

Since then, the mood has improved, with Hansi Flick’s support of Araujo playing a key role in his decision-making process. Flick’s confidence in the player has reportedly had a positive impact.

While Barcelona are not rushing the renewal, they plan to finalize everything by the end of the current season.

In the meantime, Araujo has begun training on grass, with Barcelona teasing his comeback with a new photo.
