Barcelona’s financial problems mean the club cannot currently compete with Europe’s richest clubs and Araujo had reportedly been attracting interest from teams in the Premier League.
After joining Barca’s B team from Uruguayan side Boston Rover in 2018, Araujo made an eventful first-team debut against Sevilla a year later, when he was sent off 14 minutes after coming on as a substitute.
But the youngster quickly found his feet and has emerged as a first-choice starter in Xavi Hernandez’s defence this term.

He has made 26 appearances this season in La Liga, scoring four goals, including one in the 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid in March.
“He has proved himself to be the present and future for Barca, becoming an integral part of the Blaugrana defence,” the club said in a statement.
“His talents in defence and scoring goals mean he is a key player for years to come as his tally of four goals this season proves.”
