The smooth completion of Ronald Araujo’s renewal operation was one of Barcelona most noteworthy accomplishments during the just concluded January transfer window.
The center-back’s negotiations had been ongoing for some time and had occasionally been rather complex.
Even though he recovered from his injury, he didn’t play again until the beginning of 2025 after missing the first half of the season.
Now that the Uruguay international’s future is set, Diario AS says that things are not pretty well with him at the Catalan club.

The fact that Hansi Flick replaced the defender at halftime in the most recent match against Alaves served as a warning of the issues he may encounter in the future.
In the post-match press conference, the German tactician disclosed that he was substituted due to a yellow card he had received. Nevertheless, Flick may have substituted Eric Garcia instead of him in order to have good passers.
The Barcelona head coach was fast to make amends against Alaves before this vulnerability harmed his team. It appears that he recognized the tendency of opposing coaches to trap Araujo and wait for him to make a poor pass.
Even though the Uruguayan, who is valued at €55 million, has made significant progress in this area since joining the Catalan team, it remains a noticeable flaw in his game that might cost him dearly under Flick.
