Araujo on Future: ‘Depends on the Club,’ Content with Barcelona

Ronald Araujo, reaching the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time as an integral part of Barcelona, expressed his joy after eliminating Napoli and faced the media in the mixed zone. As expected, the Uruguayan defender was questioned about his future. While emphasizing that he is “happy” at Barcelona, he did not entirely shut down speculations about a potential departure. “My future depends on the club. Everyone knows that I am very happy here at Barcelona. And very grateful to Xavi,” responded Ronald, leaving a bit of mystery by putting the ball in the court of the club presided over by Joan Laporta.

Regarding the match against Napoli, the center-back expressed gratitude for the support of the dedicated Barcelona fans. “Very pleased with the qualification, we had a great game at home. The support of our fans was crucial from the first minute,” he declared.

Furthermore, the Uruguayan lavished praise on Pau Cubarsí. “He is a great player, but the defensive midfielder is very important for us. We had Busi before, now it’s Christensen. He sets the pace in front of the defense,” he said about his teammate.
