In the Daily Sport on March 3, the front page headliners were youngsters Garvey and Araujo.
Barca fans can easily guess the content, yes, about the contract extension of Garvey and Araujo. The Catalan media received news: Barca are about to renew their contracts with two future superstars, and the time has been finalized - immediately after the national derby vs. Real Madrid.
For Barca coach Xavi, Barça football director Alemani, and Cruyff Jr., the football management team, purging, signings and contract extensions are the focus of the coming months. On the issue of contract renewal, Garvey and Araujo are the top priority.
Garvey, 17, is an excellent midfielder trained by The La Masia Academy. In the 2021-22 season, Garvey grew rapidly, allowing people to see in Iniesta's shadow. The valuation of the German transfer website, Garvey is worth 40 million euros.
Garvey
The Daily Sports revealed that Garvey's current annual salary is 100,000 euros and a penalty of 50 million euros. The giants from the Premier League have the strength to directly smash the penalty to poach Garvey. Barca see Garvey as the cornerstone of the future and the renewal is imperative. Barca have prepared a contract extension for five years, hoping to raise Garvey's liquidated damages to 1 billion euros.
Araujo
Uruguayan centre-back Araujo is also in Barca's future plans. Barca originally used only 1.5 million euros to import Araujo from the Boston River in Uruguay. The investment was undoubtedly successful, with Araujo valued at €35 million (cf. the German website) and being hailed as "Puyol's successor".
Araujo's contract with Barca expires in 2023 in liquidated damages of €200 million. The Daily Sports revealed that many clubs from the Premier League want to bring in Araujo and are willing to pay high salaries. Barca have been pushing for Araaujo's contract extension and it's going well, with the players themselves willing to stay at Barca. Like Garvey, Barca are still offering a five-year contract extension with a penalty of 1 billion euros.
