Ronald Araujo has taken a step forward to make it clear that his goal remains to succeed at FC Barcelona, even when temptations came strongly this summer.

In his current contract with the Catalan club until 2031, the defender included a special clause that set his buyout between July 1 and July 15 at 60 million euros. That temporary window sparked the interest of several European teams, but the player's message was firm: he wants to stay at Barça.

Ronald Araujo facing interest from Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea

According to reports from Sport, during those "friendly clause" days, clubs like Liverpool (due to a potential Konaté departure), Tottenham, and Chelsea positioned themselves to sign him. Even Juventus made a move.

But Araujo didn't give in. His close circle received an unequivocal message: "I do not want to leave." He wanted to face challenges, regain importance at the club, and lift the weight of the recent Champions League outcomes.

Beyond the media noise, Barça seems to support that decision. Official sources and analysts agree that the club does not contemplate the Uruguayan's departure unless an irresistible offer comes in.

Less prominence? A key for Uruguay and his future

His voluntary withdrawal from the market does not guarantee his role within the squad. Under Flick's leadership, Ronald Araujo has seen other center-back pairings consolidating while his prominence temporarily diminishes.

In that scenario, Araujo does not shy away from responsibility. He acts as a captain even when not called up by the Uruguayan national team: during the recent international break, he did not travel to Malaysia but stayed abreast and was among the first to publicly support Gavi after an incident.

This commitment is not coincidental: he knows that this season also plays a role in his place for the World Cup with Uruguay and observes closely how Flick includes him in defensive rotations focusing on the midfield.

Rise and fall of a temporary clause

That 60 million clause only lasted for a short period. Starting from July 16, his clause skyrocketed back to 1 billion euros, a common practice in key players' contracts. This measure shielded the club against late moves and strengthened Barcelona's negotiating position.

With that protection, clubs like Chelsea or Tottenham can still monitor his situation, but they know they would face a significant contractual barrier.

At a turning point towards consolidation

The 2025-26 season stands as a decisive juncture. Ronald Araujo has made it clear that his bet is with Barça, even if his role is not secured.

Today, he competes for a spot against internal rivals without any public drama. His focus is on the field. In every training session, his gaze sets a goal: to affirm his leadership in Barcelona and definitively secure a place in the sky-blue national team.

Ultimately, the question is not whether he will want to leave, but whether he will manage to assert his voice within the squad. And everything indicates that Ronald Araujo will try with all his strength.
