Barcelona are having an interesting season. Unstable and unconvincing play, major injury problems, and results that are not disastrous, but still not enough for more than third place in LaLiga.
Of course, nothing is helped by the long-rumored financial problems the club has to deal with. Considering the conditions Xavi is working in, the Catalans are still doing a great job. But the pressure is immense and that is also why the coach has decided to leave the club of his heart after the season.
Barcelona therefore have extra worries. Apart from having to look for a new coach, they are of course also dealing with the future of the stars they have in their squad. He cannot acquire new ones in a big way, it is even more crucial to keep the existing ones in the team.
Moreover, some of them are in great demand outside Spain. That is why club boss Joan Laporta is making bold and unexpected statements. For example, about a lifetime contract.
Will Barcelona offer its star a lifetime contract?
While the coach who will take over the club is still speculated, although Hansi Flick seems to be the big favourite, other things are a bit clearer. For example, the fact that Ronald Araújo is a key player that Bayern Munich, for example, are extremely keen on.
Considering that Bayern are in great financial shape, keep winning trophies and are always being talked about in connection with a possible Champions League win, it would not be surprising if the 25-year-old defender would be interested in his offer.
Barcelona don’t want to lose their jewel from the heart of their defence at any cost. That is also why Joan Laporta has stated that his club should sign him on a lifetime contract. That would be the end of all the speculation.
However, the question is how realistic it is and how much the Catalans can afford it. The Uruguayan stopper has a contract at the club until the summer of 2025.
