According to a new report from Uruguayan journalist Nicolás Saavedra, Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is seriously considering the possibility of leaving on a transfer this summer due to his dissatisfaction with the club's potential inability to complete the registration process for him by next January. The news has been quoted and further analyzed by Daily Sport.
Araujo's contract extension talks are currently at an impasse, mainly due to the fact that he is not fully satisfied financially with Barcelona's offer. Although his contract doesn't expire until 2026, Araujo has already expressed his dissatisfaction with some of Barcelona's handling of the situation, especially regarding the fact that he may not be registered until next January due to an injury. He is confident that he can recover and return to action before then, but the news of the registration delay has certainly put a damper on his career plans.
In addition to the registration issue, Araujo was also angry at the club's lack of support after he was sent off against Paris Saint-Germain. This incident further exacerbated his dissatisfaction with Barcelona and made him think more seriously about his future.
It has been revealed that Araujo has received a contract extension offer from Barcelona since January this year, but his agent has not responded. During that time, he has received offers from a number of giants, including Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Despite Bayern being rejected by Araujo in talks earlier in the year and Manchester United's contact being suspended due to his injury, the transfer market for Araujo remains active.
Sporting director Deco has already stated that the club will consider selling Araujo if they are unable to agree a contract extension with him. Araujo himself is weighing up his options and will listen carefully to offers from various teams before making a final decision.
