Araujo has only played 28 minutes in Barça’s last three gamesthose who played against Rayo Vallecano on the last day and coming off the bench. He was a substitute and did not come on against Real Sociedad a week ago and did not even travel to Almería during the weekday match.. Very little presence for an undisputed starting footballer in Xavi’s team throughout the season.

A few days before Barça travels to Seville to finish the League, it is not at all clear that the Uruguayan will get on the plane. The player, beyond some discomfort in his knee that he has had for a few weeks and that is gradually subsiding, is in a position to have minutes as was seen against Rayo, but he had a talk with the coach in which they agreed to avoid any type of risk.

The priority is the health of the footballer. Especially less than a week after having to travel to Uruguay to join the Uruguayan team to compete in the Copa América, which this summer will be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Araujo is one of the Uruguayan captains. Marcelo Bielsa has made him one of the leaders of the team, something he has earned hard. Hence, the focus, with all the fish already sold in Barcelona at a sporting level, is on this tournament.

It’s on the market

However, the summer is expected to be intense as far as its future is concerned. Bayern Munich presented a formal offer for him several weeks ago and Araujo is, without a doubt, one of the most desirable players in the Blaugrana squad. Deco’s intention, like Xavi’s while he remains a coach, is to have him, but sports planning is today one step below the economic issue..

Barça needs to sell and the center back is more than amortized. The footballer has no intention of leaving Barça, a club to which he feels very close. He is very happy with his family in Barcelona too, but, on the other hand, he is a football professional and no scenario can be ruled out.. The club is not going through a normal situation in which considering the departure of someone like Ronald seems impossible. If that were the case, Araujo would have been able to play his last game with Barça against Rayo Vallecano. After it, He was photographed on the grass with some teammates who also appear in the pools of possible exits.
