In the midst of the storm, reassuring news for Barcelona fans. as far as he could tell ACE, Ronald Araujo July 1 is not free if by that day Barça has not been able to update its contract within the margins that it allows The league. Therefore, it does not have the ‘Gavi clause’, that he would be free if for that day the Barça club does not put him within the margins of financial fairplay. In recent days it has circulated that the Uruguayan international also had the ‘Gavi clause’, but it is not like that. In his contract, renewed in April 2022 until June 2026 with a clause of 1,000 million, the option of being unilaterally free at zero price is not specified in any case if he has not entered the salary margins imposed by LaLiga on the 1st of July.
Barça has room, then, to resolve the Uruguayan’s registration throughout the summer. It is also one of his priorities along with the difficult fit of the return of Messi and the registration of Gavi. Araújo, for the rest, is calm. He made an effort to continue at Barça and, furthermore, the fact that this clause does not exist avoids temptations from his representatives and the earthquake that, for example, does surround Gavi these days.
