Ronald Araujo has decided to stay at Barcelona, but there are questions about how long he will remain at the club. After several weeks of discussions with his agents, an agreement was reached, and the player extended his contract with Barcelona until 2031.
Details: As part of the new contract, the defender received a salary increase, and a buyout clause of €65 million was included, which is significantly lower than the €1 billion clause in his previous contract. This means that if a club offers the stated amount, Araujo could still leave Barcelona in the summer.

However, recent reports from Marca have clarified the situation. The new contract still includes the €1 billion clause, but with a temporary adjustment to €70 million, which will apply only from July 1 to July 10, 2025. After that, the buyout amount will return to €1 billion.
Reminder: This temporary decrease in value gives potential buyers the chance to close a deal without delaying negotiations.
