Barcelona have received positive news regarding the future of center-back Ronald Araujo, as he is set to return from injury and potentially sign a new contract in the coming weeks.
The 25-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in July, sidelining him and putting contract talks on hold. His current deal runs until 2026.
According to SPORT, the international break has allowed Barcelona to focus on Araujo, who has shown enthusiasm for his return and a contract renewal.
Initial fears of Araujo being swayed by Bayern Munich’s interest have subsided, with the player now committed to Barcelona and eager to work under new coach Hansi Flick.
Araujo is likely to accept a new contract offer once he returns to full fitness, with a return to action expected in December.
Team training decisions are imminent, with Araujo’s progress being closely monitored. Flick praised his improvement and passing ability.
