Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo expressed his joy over the recent contract extension with the Catalan club.

Araujo said: “I came to Barcelona at a very young age and it helped me learn, mature and develop as a player. When the Barcelona offer was made, I was supposed to join the reserves, but I was very happy and it was the best decision I could make. Now I am happy, I was very happy to extend my contract, I have already received several offers, but I made my decision and the negotiations took only two meetings, and in the second meeting all the details were agreed. I really believe that this team will win titles next season, we have to believe in ourselves and in our abilities, we showed that in the matches played in January and February.”

On renewing Frenchman Kylian Mbappé’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain, he added: “We have to focus on ourselves, we Barcelona, ​​regardless of the players who go to Real Madrid, we know we have to face them and defeat them.”
