Boston River cash boost as Ronald Araujo handed Barcelona promotion | OneFootball

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has seen his buyout clause rise.

Sport says Araujo's release clause has risen from €100m to €200m in the past few days, after Barcelona included him as a first team squad member for this season.

The 21 year old Uruguayan centre back has the No 4 shirt and will appear for Ronald Koeman's side regularly, it seems, this season.

He signed for Barca on August 29, 2018, for five seasons. The clause of €100m was set to double 'if he arrived in the first team'. That occurred officially on Monday when he received the No 4 shirt and was given La Liga clearance as a first teamer.

This rise is good news for Boston River, whom Barca signed him from. They spent €1.7m on the player but there is a series of variables which could see that rise to €5.2m.
