Barcelona had been at a contract stalemate with star defender Ronald Araujo for the best part of a year when Juventus’ interest arrived in January, and just a week later, the Uruguayan had sorted out a new deal. Yet it has not completely halted talk surrounding his future. Sporting Director Deco has admitted that he would be allowed to leave if he were not happy.
The Blaugrana sealed a new deal with Araujo suddenly after talks between Deco and the Uruguayan defender, but it has also been reported that he has a number of exit clauses in his new deal. Some claim that he could leave for as little as €65m in the summer, although there is debate whether that includes Champions League clubs too.
Speaking to TV3, Deco explained that if Araujo told them he was not happy, then he would be allowed to leave.
“You can’t have a player who is not happy. It ends up being a problem for the team. There are times when you might not play, and it’s difficult to manage. We talked to him about it, and he was happy. If in the future he has to change, he has the door open to tell us. I don’t think that’s what he wants. If not, he wouldn’t have renewed. I think he’ll stay for many years.”
Araujo came back from his injury and was thrown straight back into the fray, playing in the Spanish Supercup against Real Madrid.

door is open, so Barca is saying, "I am a Barca fan, really I never believe what others were saying. But I have come to realise it is true. officials of this club don't appreciate other countries' players when they are old. I admired real Madrid. example, Marcelo, he was highly appreciated. but Barca trophies winner, Messi

He shouldn't say it. It means they gave him a new deal to be in better position to negotiate. It's unfair, he shouldn't say this even knowing that they intend to then sell him.

The time we were losing Messi we didn’t expect anyone who can replace him but God send us Yamal so if he wana live let him good his offside trap is not good at all
