Ronald Araújo has been one of the most commented names in these last weeks in key FC Barcelona. His future has been in the air from the last weeks of the season by the 'bajón' in his performance and was linked with several teams, like the Bayern of Munich or Manchester City, but the debate finish does some days, when it trascended that Hansi Flick has he for the 2024/2025, as one of the leaders of the team.
The trainer blaugrana understands that it can keep on being a key player for the Barça in the next years and, besides, is conscious that it is a very difficult profile to replace, although it will have an important number of head offices: Pau Cubarsí, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé and Iñigo Martínez, in addition to Eric García that returns of his cession in the Girona or the case of a Mika Faye that it could 'rise' to the first team.
However, the panorma has gone back to give an important twist with some statements of Araújo from the concentration of Uruguay to prepare for the dispute of the Glass America of this summer, in United States. The central of 25 years landed this Sunday to Montevideo and has not left clear his posture regarding his future, although it has left clear that is calm in the team.
