BARCELONA BOOST AS TWO KEY MEMBERS OF XAVI’S SQUAD EXPECTED TO SIGN NEW CONTRACTS IN MARCH

 

Word stemming from the Spanish media over the course of the last 24 hours points towards two crucial members of the first-team setup at FC Barcelona preparing to commit their long-term futures to the club.

The players in question? Gavi and Ronald Araujo.

Speculation has of course been rampant surrounding the long-term plans of both La Masia graduate Gavi and defensive stalwart Araujo for some time now.

This comes with the respective terms of both players at the Camp Nou due to expire in the summer of 2023.

Links with some of European football’s biggest clubs, in turn, have inevitably been forthcoming, with Gavi named as a target of Champions League holders Chelsea, and Araujo understood to be on the wishlist of Manchester United.
