Barça and Araújo approach positions to seal their renewal

Ronald Araújo wants to stay at Barça. And so he has transferred it to his agents and the club. To unblock the operation, Barça's director of football, Mateu Alemany, who landed from Morocco on Tuesday at noon after meeting with Moussa Sissoko, agent of Ousmane Dembélé, went to the Sushi 99 restaurant in Barcelona to meet with Edmundo Kabchi, representative of the Uruguayan footballer.

"There is a good predisposition for him to renew," Alemany said as he left the restaurant. "We are fine, there are no big differences, we need to shore up details. There is a good atmosphere, the meeting went well. I ask for your peace of mind. The player's priority is to stay. The club does its part, so do we. We hope in the coming days and hours to have a total agreement of the two parties," added Edmundo Kabchi, representative of the Charrúa player.

We hope in the coming days and hours to have a full agreement from both sides."

Araújo arrived in Barcelona with a Barça B card in 2018. He signed until 2023 with a termination clause of 100 million euros that amounted to 200 when last year he moved up to the first team. His contract with Barça ends in 2023 and his evolution has once again aroused the interest of several European clubs.

It was Xavi who asked the club for an effort to renew the centre-back. He considers the 23-year-old Uruguayan to be one of the players who has evolved the most since he arrived on the Blaugrana bench in November. Always with the will to improve, Araújo shares his doubts with the technician while they watch videos in the viewing room of the sports city."I think he's the player who has grown the most since we've been here, especially with the ball. He doesn't always find the best solution because he's a player who hadn't coached him. But he is learning it and he is daring," said Xavi Hernández after the first leg of the Europa League knockout round against Galatasaray where Araújo suffered with the exit of the ball, his great Achilles heel."I admire Piqué a lot, especially in the ball output. I feel like that's what I'm missing. I came from another football, the one played in Uruguay," said the centre-back a few months ago. “

Now there are more clubs interested in getting a centre-back who, beyond his good relationship with the dressing room, is also very loved by the Barcelona fans. In that sense, Barcelona measures its steps very well to please Xavi but also to avoid returning to a past that triggered the club's salary bill. He has a plan with different salary scales adapted to the new times but is willing to continue negotiating for Araújo to renew. "I've worked hard to get here," Araújo claimed in the Bernabeu classic after scoring the 0-2. This course has participated in 33 matches between all competitions and its market value is 40 million euros according to Transfermarkt . The agreement seems close.
