Barcelona have just wrapped up an impressive La Liga-winning campaign, finishing strong after a season full of highs that restored confidence among the Blaugrana faithful.
While the team excelled on home soil, questions still linger over some defensive performances, especially after their Champions League exit.
Among those under scrutiny was Ronald Araujo, the Uruguayan centre-back who has faced criticism largely because of his injuries throughout the season.
Araujo’s name has frequently been linked with transfer speculation in recent months, partly due to mixed performances and fitness concerns.
After Barcelona bowed out of Europe at the hands of Inter Milan, some fans and pundits called for a change in defence, with Ronald Araujo often singled out.
However, the 26-year-old has now firmly dismissed any doubts about his commitment to the club.
In a statement reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Araujo insisted he is fully focused on Barcelona’s future.
“I’m Barça captain and I’m going to stay at the club. I’m under contract until June 2031,” he declared.
