Barcelona News: Ronald Araujo rejected ‘big offers’ from Premier League teams to stay at FC Barcelona
Barcelona News: Ronald Araujo is one of the best young centre-backs in the world. There is no doubt about that.
The Uruguayan international has started every game so far this season, except for one in the Champions League.
The top-rated defender stays with the club because he loves the Blaugrana and wants to do well with the team.
Since it’s thought that Xavi’s men trust Ronald Araujo and see him as a key part of their project, it’s no surprise that this news will make culers happy as a whole.
In the summer, it was widely said that Pep Guardiola, the former coach of Barcelona, was a big fan of the Uruguayan player. So much so that the manager of Manchester City was seen having dinner with Edmundo Kabchi, who is the representative of the player.
Guardiola is one of the best coaches in the world, and City is one of the most successful and well-run clubs in Europe. It wouldn’t have been surprising for Araujo to want to move to the Etihad Stadium.
But Ronald Araujo didn’t keep an eye out for such possible moves. Instead, he made a long-term commitment to Xavi’s team, which shows how much he believes in the club’s rebuild.
At the same time, both the club and Barca fans have a lot of faith in the young defender.
He is seen as the “new Carles Puyol” because of how much he loves and cares about the club, how aggressively he defends, and how he leads.
It was clear during the last game against Elche when the whole crowd at Camp Nou cheered and sang his name. Since Araujo signed a new contract, fans will continue to love him for a long time.
