Barcelona said that the 23-year-old Uruguay international will sign his new deal on Friday.
Araújo, fast enough to keep up with the speediest strikers and strong in the area, is considered Barcelona’s most talented young defender. He shares playing time now with veteran Gerard Pique and Eric García.
The club prioritized Araújo’s extension, needing to solidify the future of its defence as the 35-year-old Pique enters the twilight of this career.
Araújo has scored six goals in 78 career appearances with Barcelona.
