The defender’s contract expires in 2023, and his rejection of Barca’s original offer sparked a flurry of transfer speculation.
However, after a new meeting today between Araujo’s representatives and Barca president Mateu Alemany, a tentative agreement has been reached.
According to Sport, the Blaugrana are on the verge of reaching a final deal, with the major roadblocks now behind them.
Barca and the defender have reached an agreement on his new wage, and while the length of the contract has yet to be determined, the final negotiations are not likely to provide any new challenges.
Both parties are now thought to be satisfied with the situation, and Araujo is expected to stay at Camp Nou for the foreseeable future.
That will be great news for Barca and Xavi Hernandez, with Araujo a key member of the club’s back-line.
It will also be good news for Araujo, who is believed to have wanted to stay at Camp Nou all along.

Meanwhile…
There are few things the majority of people agree on these days. Even fewer things that football fans can agree on, but one of those things is that Gavi is special and in particular that Barcelona securing him in the long term is a no-brainer.
According to a report from Sport, Barcelona have yet to present an official proposal to Gavi’s camp for a contract proposal. The report goes on to specify that this doesn’t mean there is any semblance of conflict between the two sides. It’s just strange to Gavi’s party it seems that a proposal hasn’t come through as of yet.
The good news for Barca fans is that his contract doesn’t run out for another 14 months. So there is certainly plenty of time. However, I speak for most Barca fans when I say, let’s not drag this one out fellas.
