Xavi has ´zero doubts´ over Araujo´s Barcelona future

Ronald Araujo’s Barcelona future is still undecided, but Xavi says he has “zero doubts” over the defender’s decision.

The Uruguayan has been offered a contract extension to keep him at the club beyond 2026, but Araujo is yet to sign it.

This season, he has made 36 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona, though he dropped to the bench for their win over Real Sociedad on Monday.

Asked about Araujo’s future on Wednesday, Xavi said: “I talk a lot with Araujo, and he knows what I think. There are zero doubts about his future on my side.

“He knows what I want for his future. I always try to speak honestly and sincerely and he’s happy here.”

Reports suggest that Bayern Munich and Manchester United are interested in signing Araujo if he does decide to leave Barcelona.
