Barcelona defender intends to block summer transfer offers from Liverpool

Araujo has not been discouraged by his lack of prominence this season – rather, he sees it as a challenge to force his way back into the front of Hansi Flick’s thoughts. He is happy to operate as a right-back, where he has exclusively featured in recent weeks, if necessary, such is his commitment to Barcelona.

Barcelona have a conundrum to solve with Araujo

If it is decided that Araujo will operate in a similar role as he has right now in the years to come, it may be wise for Barcelona to cash in, given that his value will only continue to drop. However, they would not be able to do much if the Uruguayan defender makes it clear that he will not consider any possible chance to leave, which appears to be his stance right now.

It will be interesting to see how Araujo’s situation plays out over the next 12-18 months. He may consider an exit if he continues to operate as a squad role solely, but for now, he’s happy with how things are.
