4 - Ronald Araújo

[Devils]

He'll stay along with Gavi lol.

People making drama out of nothing.

I think you guys are talking about the same. Gave him an offer that tripled his original salary, whatever it is, and said no more offers.

I really don't understand how the club could get so laxed on the wages of those incoming players and yet so stringent on the wages of players that are here and doing great job at the club already.

Araujo wasn't even a starter last season. The players who are coming are more mature and more experienced playing at some bigger teams for years already. Plus they are free agents, and those always get a bit of an extra in wages.

Kind of pisses me off Barca players go for money talk as soon as they barely had their first few starts in a row.

That's true. However, it would be unbelievably stupid to lose him over 1 mil per season. That's 5 mil in 5 years. Anyone with similar quality would cost us probably around 40 mil. Renewing him is not really a brainer, it simply needs to be done.

He was a starter last season bar when he got injured and team played well with three at back and he wasnt just thrown back in.

Other than that he was starting majority of games when fit.

We don't know for sure how apart they are in terms of actual sums being talked about.

I mean catradio is tier 1 source

I honestly don't think we are offering more that 4 mil. He might be asking for 5-6 and that 1-2 mil gap can be negotiated. I don't believe he is asking for 7-8 mil because that would be mental considering Pedri got 5 mil.

Ya sadly

Most likely renew in end but dont think club will bow to huge demands as are not altogether against selling him and investing in another CB to take profit on accounts this summer.

Would be useful tool to have option of him at RB v Mbappe though.

Not sure he has any right to ask for Pedri money. 4 million should be enough. Negotiate a lower buyout fee if he wants some leverage to negotiate it in 2-3 years.

We won't get much as he is entering the last year of his contract. For that amount we won't be able to buy a decent CB.

 

[DonAK]

They'll renew him.

If multiple teams want him it would barely make a difference he is in last year.

Likes of Utd are goint to pay what it takes and not risk waiting a year if want him.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Why did we wait so long to renew him? Salary restrictions?

 

[Raketa10]

They'll renew him.

IMHO renewing him and Gavi should be our top priority.
