(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 26 – Uruguayan national team defender Ronald Araujo has extended his contract with Barcelona from 2023 to 2026. The Catalan club has set the release clause at one billion euros, an astronomical figure identical to that of all the young stars extended in recent months, such as Ansu Fati and Pedri.
Barca announced the extension with a video posted on Twitter showing the 23-year-old Uruguayan drinking a mate on a glass marked with the number 2026. Born in Rivera in 1999, Araujo was recruited by the Blaugrana youth in 2018 in exchange for a little less. of 5 million euros. Becoming one of the defenders since Xavi’s arrival on the bench, Araujo has played 39 games this season and scored four goals (ANSA).
