The saga surrounding Barcelona center-back Ronald Araújo has officially come to an end.
Details: The Catalan club has announced the signing of a new contract with the Uruguayan defender. Araújo's new deal with the Blaugranas is set to run until 2031.
The start of the current season saw Araújo sidelined due to a severe injury, but he made his return in the Copa del Rey match against modest Barbastro (4-0). He later came off the bench in the Spanish Super Cup clash against Real Madrid (5-2).
During the winter transfer window, the defender was linked to several clubs, with Juventus showing particular interest. However, as we now see, Araújo will definitely not be changing clubs in January.
Background: It was also reported that Barcelona has reached an agreement on a new contract with midfielder Pedri.
