Here's the Rewritten Article:

Barcelona's top brass are burning the midnight oil to extend the contract of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araújo. The 24-year-old's current deal with the Blaugrana expires in the summer of 2026, but the Catalan giants are keen on locking him down even longer, amidst interest from Europe's elite clubs. Particularly, Bayern Munich has shown keen interest in the Uruguayan.

The Bavarian powerhouse has been admiring Araújo for over two years, with their manager, Thomas Tuchel, personally interested in his acquisition. Reports suggest that Bayern has already enquired about the player. However, Barcelona views Araújo as one of their prized assets and is leaving no stone unturned to keep the Uruguayan at Camp Nou for the long haul. As a result, Araújo can expect an improved contract offer soon.

Araújo made his way to Barcelona in August 2018, joining from Uruguayan club Boston River B team. By October 2020, he had become a regular fixture in the first team, making 125 appearances for the main squad, scoring 8 goals, and setting up 3 more.

Interestingly, Araújo's current contract has a buyout clause of €65 million that is valid until early July. This valueable clause has caught the eye of clubs like Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Juventus. Despite his recent reduced prominence following Pau Cubarsí’s emergence, Araújo's talent and potential have kept the door open for a potential exit.

Bayern Munich's interest is particularly keen, with the club considering Araújo a top priority for their defensive overhaul. They view his €65 million clause as attainable and are preparing negotiations with Barcelona. However, the Catalan club's stance remains unclear beyond the clause's existence.

In any negotiations, Barcelona might attempt to renegotiate terms or replace Araújo if he departs. Any club can trigger the €65 million release clause during its active window, bypassing direct negotiations with Barcelona unless the club convinces Araújo to stay. The situation is likely to accelerate as the clause's activation period nears, but no formal agreement exists between Barcelona and Bayern as of now.
