Sporting director Deco opposes club’s consideration of selling Ronald Araujo. ‘Diario AS’ reported on Tuesday that Barcelona sporting director Anderson Deco is a key figure in the opposition to selling Uruguay defender Ronald Araujo this summer.
Barcelona will need to offload a number of players to make way for the arrival of new players this summer. With the Blaugrana reportedly considering selling Araujo as well. Given his high market value and the clubs willing to pay his €65m release clause.ทางเข้า UFABET
But Deco is not in favour of such an approach. As he believes Araujo’s leadership qualities and performances are key to Hansi Flick’s long-term plans. With the Portuguese director more inclined to find a way to offload Andreas Christensen.
However, Araujo has a special release clause worth €65 million set to trigger between July 1 and 15, and should a club succeed in convincing the 26-year-old defender to make the move, the Blaugrana will not be able to block his move.
Deco is likely playing a key factor behind this decision, but as July 1 approaches, the sporting director could face renewed pressure to sell Araujo.
That is because of a special clause in the defender’s contract, which would lower the player’s release clause to just €65 million.
