Barcelona are reportedly set to begin contract extension talks with Ronald Araujo’s agent and have made the central defender’s new deal a top priority.
The Catalan giants want to tie Araujo down to a longer contract, offer him a salary increase and raise his release clause that currently stands at €200m, according to Diario Sport.
Araujo’s current deal expires in 2023 but the report reckons Barcelona will sit down with his agent for a “face-to-face meeting” in the “coming days.”
The 22-year-old does want to stay at Barcelona but also wants his contribution and value to the team to be recognized in the form of an improved salary.
