Unconsciously, Araujo is also about to enter the contract year, Barca for Araujo's contract extension, does not seem to be as important as Pedri and Fati, so recently the "Daily Sports" reported that Barca should be in a fair attitude in this matter, at least Araujo can help Barca in the center-back line, solve the current urgent needs, and he is the future star, compared to De Ligt and Garcia, Araujo has more of his value.
First of all, from the renewal of Araujo's contract, Barca did not do this right, because Araujo's contract renewal incident should not be boiling, from the perspective of central defender, Araujo is currently a very good center-back at Barca, which is beyond doubt, during Coman's coaching of Barca, Araujo, although injured, was still arranged to play in key games, and it was partner Pique, Xavi also praised Araujo.
At least in the current Barça squad, the players who can play the main role of the center back, one is Pique, the other is Araujo, compared to Pique, Araujo is not experienced enough, but young, momentum, strong, it can be said that in the key competition, Araujo showed strength, is a qualified Barca center-back.
In addition, on the issue of annual salary, this is what Barca need to consider, Araujo's current annual salary is 900,000 euros, because he played in Barca B team, so the annual salary is not too high, but now Araujo can play the role of Barca's main center-back, and can also get a matching annual salary, Barca should not use Araujo's low annual salary as an excuse to gradually increase the salary, but in one step, both can leave Araujo, in order to be able to play for Barca wholeheartedly.
You know, a renewal offer from Barca has been rejected by Araujo's agent, and for this reason, Araujo has also had some quarrels with the agent. From Araujo's own point of view, playing for Barca has always been his goal, and the agent's refusal to offer is understandable, after all, their duty is here. However, I think that although Barca's contract has not been made public, it can be predicted that the offer given is not reasonable.
This season, Barca first followed up with Pedri and Fati two young players, this is the future of Barca, the media did not even hear any wind, the two renewal has been completed, and came to Araujo's side, so much noise, it can be seen that Barca for Araujo, or for the choice of center-back, there are still certain opinions.
It is not difficult to imagine that Pedri and Fati can successfully renew their contracts, while Araujo's contract extension is full of controversy, which has already illustrated some problems, if it is not Barca's reluctance to pay a high salary, then it is hoped to sign De Ligt this summer. Although it is difficult, Barca will do it.
First, it is reported that Garcia's annual salary is about 2 million after the salary cut, and the Daily Sports newspaper said that If Araujo renews his contract, the annual salary should exceed Garcia's, and I think the annual salary should be above Umtititi (3.6 million euros), because Araujo is more technically capable than Garcia, and Araujo's ceiling is not necessarily inferior to the peak Umtititi.
Speaking of De Ligt, if De Ligt signs with Barca, he needs to pay a transfer fee of tens of millions of euros, and with the character of Laiola, he will definitely increase his annual salary income again, which is simply a result that is not worth the loss for Barca. And to renew Araujo's contract, it only takes a few million euros a year.
summary
On this Araujo contract extension event, Barca really should not make a fuss, Araujo is a very valuable player, do not because of the original annual salary of 900,000 euros, Barca refused to step into place, and even fantasized about signing De Ligt, so that Alauho such a player who loves Barca is chilled.
