FC Barcelona and Ronald Araujo have reached an agreement on an extension to the player's contract, tying him to the club through to 30 June 2031.
The centre back put pen to paper this Thursday at an event where he was joined by club president Joan Laporta; first vice-president Rafa Yuste; and director of sport Anderson Luis de Souza “Deco”.
Winner in defence
Araujo, born 7 March 1999 joined FC Barcelona in the summer of 2018 from Boston River, Montevideo, starting with Barça B, but already with the idea of advancing him into the senior side. He made his official debut on 6 October 2019 in a game at home to Sevilla, and was incorporated as a full-time member of the squad from the 2020/21 season.
His winning mentality and supreme defensive skills quickly made him a fan favourite, and he is now regarded as one of the best centre backs in the whole world. Not only that, but he has also proved his worth as a full back too.
He has amassed 154 appearances for the first team, scoring eight goals and giving six assists, which is an excellent record for a defender. His titles included a Liga and a Copa del Rey, while this season he has been promoted to second captain.
