Barça: Ronald Araujo on the move?

Ronald Araujo’s future at FC Barcelona is raising questions. According to multiple sources, the Catalan club isn’t ruling out a transfer for their captain during the summer transfer window, despite a contract running until 2031.

The 27-year-old Uruguayan defender is reportedly no longer seen as an undisputed starter in the current hierarchy. According to reports, head coach Hansi Flick now ranks him behind several defenders in his pecking order, notably Pau Cubarsí, Eric García, Gerard Martín, and Andreas Christensen. This was reportedly communicated to Araujo directly in a personal meeting, fueling speculation about his future at the club.

🚨 Barcelona are open to considering offers for club captain Ronald Araujo this summer.

While they are not actively pushing to sell the Uruguayan defender, SPORT reports the club will listen to significant proposals if they make financial and sporting sense.
