Araujo Signs a New Deal with Barcelona
Uruguayan center-back Ronald Araujo and left-back Gerard Martín have finalized their contract extensions with FC Barcelona, though the club has yet to officially announce the duration of their new deals.
Araujo, who reportedly had an offer from Juventus, was set to see his contract expire in June 2026. His season has been challenging due to a hamstring tendon injury sustained while playing for his national team in the Copa América, which required surgery.
Meanwhile, Gerard Martín, 22, has signed his first professional contract with the club. The left-back joined the team just over a year ago from Cornellà and impressed in Rafa Márquez’s reserve squad, earning him a chance with the first team.
Both players represent vital pieces for Barcelona's future. Araujo's renewal strengthens the defense, while Gerard Martín's progress highlights the success of the club’s development system.
Fans now eagerly await the official announcement from FC Barcelona, which will end any lingering uncertainty surrounding these two promising talents.
