Ronald Araujo’s future at Barcelona was the subject of intense speculation in the winter but all that was put to bed when he signed a new contract at the club until 2031.
However, it subsequently emerged that Araujo had asked for his release clause to be reduced in his new deal.
The Uruguay international’s clause had been an eye-popping €1 billion but drops down to just €65m this summer which may well attract interest from other clubs.
According to Diario Sport, the €65m release clause is valid for 10 days at the start of July, offering a window for interested clubs to make a move.
