Barcelona are reportedly confident of retaining the services of defender Ronald Araujo.
The 22-year-old has been a regular in the team this season, making a total of 17 starts and six substitute appearances in all competitions.
However, with less than 18 months remaining on his contract, the Uruguayan has naturally been linked with a whole host of other clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
