Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo has confirmed that he wants to extend his stay at the Spanish giants amid ongoing links connecting him with a move to Manchester United.
The Uruguayan defender, who is considered as one of the most highly-rated central-defenders in European football, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in the last few months, as well as a move to the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. He is out-of-contract at the Camp Nou in the summer of 2023, meaning time is running out for the La Liga giants to tie him down to a new deal ahead of him being available on a free transfer.
Reports in recent months have claimed that United had stepped up their interest in the 23-year-old, including one from Spain that suggested that the Reds had offered him a contract worth £8.4million a year. However, Araujo, who joined Barcelona from Boston River back in 2018, has revealed his intentions to stay at the Camp Nou.
