'I hope to be at Barcelona for many years' - Araujo eager to extend stay at Camp Nou

The Uruguayan centre-back says he is "very happy" in Catalonia after an impressive breakthrough campaign under Ronald Koeman

Ronald Araujo has outlined his desire to extend his stay at Barcelona, admitting that he hopes to remain at Camp Nou for "many years".

Araujo signed for Barca from Uruguayan outfit Boston River for just €2 million in 2018, and made his senior debut a year later in a 4-0 La Liga victory against Sevilla.

The 22-year-old stepped up to first-team level permanently following Ronald Koeman's appointment as head coach last summer and enjoyed an impressive 2020-21 campaign, but he is now approaching the final two years of his contract.
