Besides Ousmane Dembele’s complicated transfer situation, Barcelona need urgent attention for another player.

Barcelona need to attend an urgent contract business apart from the whole Ousmane Dembele situation. 

Xavi Hernandez and his side need to correct centre-back Ronald Araujo agreement. The 22-year-old will be out of contract until 2023, meaning he has one-and-a-half-season still to go.

Reports have indicated that Barcelona are monitoring several defenders as alternatives in the future. However, there is a need to look into the Uruguayan’s issue as a primary priority.

According to Diario AS, Araujo has urged that he should be treated as an important player amongst all defenders. 

On top of that, the Catalan club is currently not in a situation to offer high wages for the central defender. But, it is said that a rise in his salary will make the essential changes to his future decision.

Additionally, Araujo is said to have expressed his desire to stay in Barcelona. But if the club fails to provide him with the necessary requirements, it will be difficult to convince him.
