Barcelonaβs leadership, including Hansi Flick and Deco, have firmly decided that Ronald Araujo will not be sold this summer. The club views him as the best one-on-one defender in the squad and believes he has been unfairly criticized by fans this season. While Araujo did not have his best campaign, Barcelona feel his contributions were overlooked. His crucial performances against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were overshadowed by his mistake against Inter Milan in the Champions League.
The club also rates Araujo higher than Jonathan Tah, who was lined up as a potential replacement. Barcelona are convinced that if Araujo were to join a club like Inter Milan or Liverpool, he would develop into the worldβs best center-back. Data shows that Araujo is the fastest center-back in the world over long distances, a key attribute Barcelona do not want to lose. The coaching staff will now focus on helping him adapt to Flickβs system. Hansi Flick has personally assured Araujo that he will be a vital part of the team next season.
The manager sees him as a unique defenderβquick, physically dominant, and capable of neutralizing top attackers. Araujo was deeply affected by the criticism he received after the Inter Milan match, but he is determined to prove his worth next season. The club fully supports him and believes in his potential. Flick and the sporting management consider Araujoβs style irreplaceable in the current squad. His ability to recover from mistakes and dominate defensively makes him a key piece for Barcelonaβs future.
With unwavering trust from the coaching staff and the board, Araujo is set to stay and fight for his place. Barcelona are confident he will return to his best form under Flickβs guidance. The message is clear: Ronald Araujo is not for sale, and Barcelona believe he will play a crucial role in their success next season. π΅π΄
