SCRIPT TWIST IN BARÇA WITH ARAÚJO?
Hansi Flick's decision on Ronald Araújo's future at Barça
Although, until now, everything seemed to indicate that FC Barcelona was going to insist on the sale of Ronald Araújo, new information from SPORT suggests that Hansi Flick has him for next season
The FC Barcelona lives a species of déjà vu every time that it approaches the market of signings estival in what to the drops refers . They begin with the intention to do 'cleaning' of changing room and generate income through the sale of important players, but finish without concretising them and dressing them to all as 'intocables' and prioritarios for the project. It lives a change of guion constant in which it is 'impossible' keep up to date.
The case of Ronald Araújo is one that carries two years repeating. In the past summer, the Barça had flirted with the possibility to sell him (by 100 million euros), but gave course backwards. This year, from the eliminatory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League (in April!) It has been in the ramp of exit of the Barcelona picture... And everything seems to indicate to that, now, will remain after the request of Hansi Flick.
The Barça changes of plan (again)
To put it in context, in the Barcelona group saw him like one of the players 'prescindibles' of which could take out a good 'cut' in the market, because it already has generated interest by part of several clubs. In front of the overbooking that there will be in the axis of the defensive saga, with Pau Cubarsí, Jules Koundé, Iñigo Martínez, Andreas Christensen and the possible return of Eric García for 'remain' after his cession in the Girona, understood that the most logical was to sell to one of the pieces.
However, as it is used to to occur in the Barça, the plan has changed. According to an information of the newspaper SPORT, for Flick "the central Uruguayan is a key piece in his project. It is necessary to retain it". Like this then , the trainer Teutonic has the central charrúa on a long-term basis by what can offer on the field, but also for being one of the big leaders of the changing room. It understands that it is not a piece that will be able to substitute easily, at least in the short term.
The posture of Araújo is different
In any case, the stage is very distinct for the Barça... Because the footballer no longer has so clear his intention to remain . According to the before quoted source, although his dream continues being follow dressing of Barcelona, has remained 'hurt' by all the informations and rumours, that have filtered from the club, on his future. Right now, it has not found the support that expected by part of the club. Hansi Flick Will have to convince it directly.
