Transfer News: Chelsea to get Ronald Araujo update within ten days as contract talks set with Barcelona
According to the Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo (h/t The Express), Chelsea will receive an update regarding the future of Ronald Araujo within ten days as contract talks are set to take place with Barcelona. The English club is keeping tabs on the situation to make their case in case of a favourable outcome.
Araujo will enter the final year of his current contract this summer which pushes his future at Camp Nou into uncertain waters. Barca have been trying to tie him down on a new deal for a long time, but they have failed to agree to terms with the central defender so far. However, crucial discussions are set to be held “in the next ten days” between his agent and the club’s representatives.
The Uruguayan prefers to stay at Camp Nou moving forward, but he wants the new offer to match his contributions to the team. He could be in line to leave this summer if the Blaugrana side cannot meet his demands this time around. The Blues will contemplate a move for the centre-back if the result aligns in their favour.
