The past Tuesday at night, the FC Barcelona announced the renewals of Frenkie of Jong and Clément Lenglet until 2026, Marc-André ter Stegen until 2025 and Gerard Hammered until 2024. In this way, the Barcelona club found the formula to follow having four fundamental pillars of the team, in addition to going down the mass salarial current compensating to the players with more years of agreement.
According to the informations published by the newspaper 'Mark', the FC Barcelona has under way the negotiations for a fifth renewal: the one of Ronald Araújo. The central Uruguayan of 21 years has agreement until 2023 with a clause of rescission that went up of 100 to 200 million euros when it rose to the first team this summer, but from the club want to expand these conditions.
The quoted media clears that the renewal of Ronald Araújo is not framed in the context of adaptation of the payments like measured to combat the derivative economic crisis of the pandemia. The intention of the FC Barcelona to renew to the young Uruguayan defence comes of far because of the progression that showed so much in the past season as in the start of the present.
The enlargement of agreement of Ronald Araújo would link him to the FC Barcelona until 2026, of the same way that other young players recently renewed like Frenkie of Jong or Clément Lenglet. It is necessary to remember that the Uruguayan arrived to the Barcelona club in August of 2018 by less than two million euros and that to day of today already is the third head office of the team, having showed a level more than convincente when it has touched him play.
It is necessary to remember that Ronald Araújo was the player that ran over to Jean-Clair Todibo when the French aimed to bet of future for the defence. The Uruguayan convinced more than the Frenchman to the technical body directed by Ernesto Valverde, something that repeated this same summer with the one of Ronald Koeman. To his 21 years, has a big future by in front and even a big present.
An intelligent and powerful defence
Maybe it was not the central with better technical quality of the world but yes is a player that, in spite of his youth, is conscious of his qualities and his limitations to take out the maximum split of his game. With a physicist imponente and a big tactical intelligence, Ronald Araújo has showed that has level for the elite. In fact, his presence in the team does less grave the fact of have not been able to concretise the arrival of Eric García.
