According to the Daily Sports Newspaper, Manchester City manager Guardiola met with Araujo's agent Edmundo Kabchi, which inevitably triggered speculation. City's interest in Araujo has a long history, and now that manager Guardiola has personally met with Araujo's agent, Barca will certainly be very wary.
Araujo and Barca's contracts expire in 2023, and negotiations to renew the contract between the two sides have been going on for some time but have come to a standstill for the time being. Araujo is one of Barca's lowest-paid players and wants a salary similar to Thatran Torres, Pedri and Fati, which means around €6 million a year.
