Barcelona board think defender’s agents are trying to convince him to leave | OneFootball

A head-turning claim surrounding the behaviour of Barcelona star Ronald Araújo’s representatives has on Sunday come to the fore online.

The info comes courtesy of Mundo Deportivo, and points towards the individuals in question actively angling for their client to seal a move away from the club.

Araújo, for his part, is due to see his current contract terms expire in the summer of 2026.

With the Uruguayan playing a central part in the plans of Barcelona boss Hansi Flick moving forward, the brass at the Camp Nou have therefore long been actively working to tie Araújo down to a new deal.

To date, no breakthrough has been found.

And though Deco and co. are increasingly confident that as much will soon be forthcoming, the Blaugrana board find themselves in an ongoing battle with the stopper’s entourage.

As per MD:

‘At Barça they have made his agents aware of their total and absolute interest in him renewing but they have had the suspicion that the representatives are not passing on all the information to the player.’

This comes with a view to pushing Araújo out the exit door in Catalunya’s capital.

Turning attentions back towards the pitch, the 25-year-old is expected to be afforded his long-awaited season bow later this evening, in Barcelona’s La Liga meeting with Leganés.
