The future of Ronald Araujo at Barcelona is going through its most uncertain period since he landed in the first team. The Uruguayan center-back, who used to be one of the defensive pillars of the Catalan club, has seen his performance plummet both with his team and his national team. The arrival of Hansi Flick to the bench has not improved his situation: the German coach does not fully trust in his abilities and would be willing to part ways with him in the next transfer window.

The last few months have been particularly tough for the defender, who has made uncharacteristic mistakes at his level, raising doubts in a position where he used to be solid. From within the club, it is acknowledged that, despite the fondness for the player, there is a need for defensive renewal that could involve his departure. The board, although it has not yet received a specific offer, is already listening to proposals.
Araujo, on his part, does not hide his discomfort with the situation. His wish was to continue growing at Camp Nou and become one of the leaders in the locker room, but circumstances have taken an unexpected turn. Conversations with the coach have not been fruitful, and the center-back is starting to consider a change of scene if there is no drastic shift in his role within the team.
The summer transfer window looms as a pivotal stage to determine his fate. Several top clubs in Europe are still monitoring his contractual situation, aware of the context surrounding the player. At just 26 years old with a dominant physical profile, Araujo still attracts interest from teams seeking defensive hierarchy, although it will be Barcelona itself who sets the conditions for a possible transfer.
