Araujo reiterates loyalty to Barca with long-term deal

Ronald Araujo has cleared up any doubts about his future at Barcelona after publicly reaffirming his commitment to the club.

The Uruguayan defender, who is one of the captains of the Catalan side, has made it clear that he is not contemplating an exit in the short or long term.

"I'm Barca captain and I'm gonna stay at the club. I'm under contract until June 2031", said Araujo. These words come at a time when there had been speculation about possible offers from other big European clubs.

However, the player himself, who has been called up to the Uruguay squad, has sought to reassure both the fans and the board by playing down the importance of these reports.
