Ronald Araujo's shocking new Barcelona release clause revealed | OneFootball

Ronald Araujo's new Barcelona contract is reported to include a release clause making him available for just €65m (£54.9m) this summer.

Araujo was heavily linked with a transfer to either Arsenal or Juventus early in the transfer window before ending the speculation by inking a contract to commit himself to the Camp Nou outfit until 2031.

Barcelona used to confirm the release clauses inserted in any new contracts but declined to reveal the details of the clauses in either Araujo's or Gerard Martin's new deals.

According to Relevo, Araujo's new release clause sits at a surprisingly affordable €65m for the upcoming summer window.

In January 2026, that clause is set to rise up to €80m (£67.6m) if he is still at Camp Nou at that time.

Araujo's previous release clause stood at a whopping €1bn but he now stands to be available for the sort of money which will not scare away the majority of big clubs across Europe, many of whom have long been linked with moves for the 25-year-old.

Release clauses, which are mandatory in Spanish contracts, must be paid up front and in full to be triggered, but clubs can negotiate to pay a higher fee across a more favourable payment plan.
