[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Ronald Araujo is unhappy with the low salary offer for his contract renewal from Barcelona, prompting the club to decide to sell him. Araujo has recently been linked with Juventus, and several Italian media outlets believe this transfer has a good chance of happening. However, many fans are puzzled as to why Barcelona would sell Araujo. Reports indicate that Araujo rejected Barcelona’s renewal contract, believing the salary offered was too low. He hopes for a substantial increase in his salary, complicating renewal negotiations. Given this factor and that Araujo’s current contract expires in 2026, his future is filled with uncertainty. It is reported that Barcelona hopes to generate income by selling Araujo to Juventus, but the specific amount is still uncertain and is not expected to be particularly high. Additionally, Barcelona has finalized a deal for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, who will join as a free agent this summer. Besides being cost-effective, Tah is also considered a better fit for Hans-Dieter Flick’s tactics compared to Araujo.
