According to Mundo Deportivo, after a meeting with the sporting director of the "blaugranas" Deco, the Uruguayan decided to stay at Camp Nou. The parties are expected to discuss the details of the future extension of cooperation shortly.

Recall that Araujo missed the beginning of the season due to a severe knee injury. In the Super Cup final against Real Madrid (5:2), Ronald replaced Inigo Martinez, who is out due to injury for at least a month.
