Unfortunately, because of this situation, the Uruguayan will not be able to resort to a conservative treatment to cure entirely this ailment. Like result, will lose so much the pre-season of the club like the first months of the season 2024/25. This alters significantly the sportive planning and of market of the FC Barcelona in regard to the exjugador of the CA Boston River.

On the one hand, it is a 'hit' important to sportive level, since Hansi Flick will not be able to have that that expected that it was one of the 'leaders' in the defensive line, in spite of having an active of good level like Andreas Christensen available to cover his absence. Likewise, this could affect the destination of footballers like Eric García and Iñigo Martínez in the staff culé. In front of the drop of Araújo, the Barcelonan picture could consider not doing without García or look for the necessary means to inscribe to Martínez and keep the solidity of the Barcelona payroll in terms of depth in the saga.

On the other hand, this injury trastoca the plan of market of the FC Barcelona.

However, after his physical mishap, this idea remains practically descartada, since negotiate a traspaso in these conditions does not seem to be profitable for the group blaugrana. Now, in case that it produce a negotiation, is likely that the clubs use the injury of Ronald like argument to his favour to obtain better conditions, which does not benefit in the absolute to the club culé.
