The Uruguayan Ronald Araujo does not intend to go to Manchester United
It was more than a year and a half ago that Ronald Araujo extended his contract with Barça until 2026, with a €1 billion release clause. The Uruguayan signed the new deal following quick negotiations, in which he agreed to make financial concessions to remain at the club.
Now, SPORT reports that, in the process of renewing his contract at Barcelona, Araujo also rejected an astronomical salary offer from fallen Premier League giants Manchester United. Shaking up the odds betting house SambaBet.
Oferta firme do Manchester United
In fact, despite having a firm offer from Manchester United to become the English club’s defensive leader, he turned down the lucrative offer that would have doubled the salary he receives at Barcelona.
Araujo was signed by Barcelona by former technical secretary Ramon Planes for €1.7 million from Boston River. Despite the risk, this move turned out to be a real bargain for Barça.
Araujo’s initial contract was until 2023, and the Catalans began to guarantee his continuity in 2021. Planes’ departure from the club impacted negotiations, and Manchester United took the opportunity to dissuade him from renewing his contract.
The Red Devils have offered to sign Araujo for a good transfer fee in 2022 or for free in 2023. The player’s representatives have been contacted and urged to accept the proposal.
Barcelona, given their Financial Fair Play conditions, were not in a position to offer the defender lucrative terms. But it was then that Araujo ordered his agents not to listen to anyone and accept Barça’s contract offer, before signing it a few weeks later.
Ronald Araujo doesn’t want to leave
Despite their failed attempt, Manchester United are understood to still have an interest in Ronald Araujo. More recently, Bayern Munich also entered the race for his signature.
However, the Uruguayan, who is one of Barcelona’s captains, has no intention of leaving the club anytime soon. He wants to stay in Catalonia and leave his mark as one of the greatest defenders in history.
Meanwhile, Barça also consider Araujo to be ‘untouchable’ and are making it a priority to offer him another new contract with improved wages soon.
