One of the best young center-backs in Europe Ronald Araujo should extend his contract with Barcelona. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the latest negotiations for a new contract went very positively and in the near future R. Araujo will put his signature on a new contract. The 23-year-old Uruguayan was tempted by Premier League clubs with high salaries, but he wanted to stay in Barcelona. The new contract will be valid until 2026, adds F. Romano. In the summer, Barcelona should also be reinforced by Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, who will arrive for free. R. Araujo, who is improving rapidly, played 23 matches in La Liga this season, scoring 4 goals. The 23-year-old defender also significantly contributed to Uruguay's return to the World Cup.
