On June 26, according to Sport, Araujo’s situation at Barca has changed, and Barca is trying to persuade him to accept a pay cut.
It is understood that Barca head coach Frick sees Araujo as an indispensable part of the defense, so Barca was not originally going to listen to any offers for the Uruguayan defender. But Araujo’s proposed contract renewal terms are too high, which has made Barca start to re-evaluate the Uruguayan’s tactical value. The Spanish giants want to keep Araujo, but they cannot accept his high salary demands.
According to Sport, Barca’s management is trying to persuade Araujo to accept a pay cut, as Barca’s dire financial problems mean they cannot meet the Uruguayan defender’s desired salary. Araujo’s contract with Barca expires in 2026, and if the two sides fail to reach a renewal agreement, then by next summer, the value of Araujo’s contract will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
