Ronald Araujo future 'immersed in halo of mystery' — what's going on

The Ronald Araujo transfer saga continues to unfold. Diario AS report that the centre-back's future is 'immersed in a halo of mystery'.

The Uruguayan's entourage were supposed to meet Barcelona to discuss a new contract but his agents have been changing the dates of the meeting. This has led to distrust from the club — the Catalans feel that Araujo has an offer on the table from elsewhere (that is, Bayern).

The club want to wrap up a new deal for the defender as they consider him one of the club's best players. Hansi Flick sees him as a starter in his future Barca team.

Yet in case the contract extension drags on, Barcelona would be prepared to part ways with Araujo. They will listen to offers starting from €80m.
