Araujo, renewal between tears

The Uruguayan, who continues until 2026 with a clause of 1,000 million, broke down remembering his arrival in Europe (“we went through a lot”), he said looking at his wife. Laporta says that she will not be the last: “We hope for good news with Gavi.”

The situation

“The future is cule”. That poster, in addition to a somewhat controversial “Made in La Masia” stamp, because Barça considers the 179th youth squad in its history to be a player who arrived at La Masia at the age of 19, was waiting for Ronald Araújo on the pitch Camp Nou to celebrate its emotional renewal until 2026, with a clause of 1,000 million euros . The Uruguayan celebrated it with a wedding suit and was surrounded by his entire entourage. From Barça, no one was missing even though its discoverer, Ramon Planes, is no longer at the club. Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff, Rafa Yuste and Enric Masip sat on the bench and enjoyed the show, which was brief, by the way: it didn’t last more than a quarter of an hour. Joan Laporta , Barça president, and the Uruguayan central defender staged the signing of the renewal contract on the pitch at the Camp Nou. Then, Laporta handed over the culé membership card to the charrúa. “I can vote now,” he said, perhaps thinking about the upcoming elections. “I have words of thanks to Araújo, a person who gives us an immediate present and who allows us to consolidate the future in the medium and long term. Araújo is a valued player, a great talent. And with him we incorporate character and commitment. As president of Barça, I am very grateful. I also thank the family.

I have told him that we will keep in mind the desire, the enthusiasm and the desire to succeed at Barça”, President Laporta congratulated him. “Full throttle!”He asked. Araujo , greatly applauded by a group of fans from the grandstand, broke down in the middle of the speech: “It is a happiness to continue in the best team in the world. I want to thank God for this because it is tremendous. To my parents, to my wife , because we went through a lot of things. And I get emotional (there it breaks). This is very important for us
