Ronald Arajo has been convinced to stay at Barcelona after a meeting with sporting director Deco on Tuesday, a source has confirmed to ESPN.
Arajo was considering his future at the club, with Italian side Juventus among those interested in signing the centre-back, whose contract expires in 2026.
Teammate Robert Lewandowski was seen telling him he "must stay" during the celebrations after Bara beat Real Madrid 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
Bara president Joan Laporta then confirmed on Tuesday the club were working on persuading Arajo to stay put.
Various factors had led the Uruguay international to contemplate leaving, a source told ESPN, although they added his priority has always been to remain at Bara.
Negotiations over a new deal had not progressed especially quickly, with Arajo's camp holding out for the terms they were promised by former sporting director Mateu Alemany.
Meanwhile, a hamstring injury picked up at last summer's Copa America led to Arajo missing the first half of the season and subsequently losing his place in the team to Pau Cubars and Iigo Martnez.
The club's interest in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah, who is out of contract in the summer, had also contributed to Arajo's doubts about his future.
However, an injury to Martnez, who will be out for the next four weeks, has opened the door for Arajo to reclaim his place in Hansi Flick's side.
The next step will be for Bara to extend his contract to avoid the risk of losing him for free in 2026 as he moves into the final 18 months of his deal.
Arajo joined Bara from modest Uruguayan side Boston River in 2018 and, after a spell in the club's reserve team, has gone on to make over 150 appearances for the club, playing a key role as they won the LaLiga title in 2022-23.
