The newspaper “AS” revealed that Barcelona officials are very disappointed with Ronald Araujo with the spread of news of his desire to leave the Catalan club this winter.
The Italian media said that Araujo has already reached an agreement with Juventus, with an offer from the Bianconeri to Barcelona to loan the defender until the end of the season with a purchase option.
According to the latest report, Barcelona’s management sees a completely incomprehensible contradiction in Araujo’s position.
The Uruguayan defender has sent clear messages in recent weeks about his desire to continue with Barcelona, perhaps the most prominent of which was his purchase of a house in Catalonia.
In one moment, things changed 180 degrees, and Araujo became closer to leaving than continuing, which caused Barcelona officials a mixture of surprise and disappointment.
The disappointment is crystallized specifically in the point that the player chose the very important Spanish Super Cup period to stir up this fuss.
AS quoted a source within Barcelona as saying: “If Araujo was, as he always says, a Barcelona fan, he should have come out to the media and said that he did not want to leave and not kept the situation so vague.”
Joan Laporta’s management intends to hold a meeting with the player after the Spanish Super Cup to put an end to this series, either by accepting the renewal offer or looking for an immediate way out for him.
During this meeting, the management will present the final renewal offer to the 25-year-old player, and the final decision will be made during it for all parties.
