Ronald Araújo Commits to Barcelona with Contract Extension Through 2031

The Uruguayan defender, a key player for the Catalan club, signs a long-term deal after speculation of a move to Juventus.

FC Barcelona announced that Ronald Araújo has extended his contract with the club until June 2031, solidifying his role in the team's future.
The 25-year-old center-back joined Barcelona in 2018 and has since become a mainstay in the squad, earning 155 appearances and contributing eight goals.
Araújo's renewal follows rumors linking him to a potential transfer to Juventus, which were dispelled after successful negotiations led by Barcelona's sporting director Deco.
This season, Araújo has been promoted to second captain and has reestablished himself in the starting lineup after recovering from an injury sustained during the Copa America.
Barcelona is currently third in La Liga and recently advanced to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, with Araújo playing a significant role despite a recent own goal.
