World Sports: Barcelona has no intention of selling Araujo because he still has an irreplaceable role in the team

May 29th According to the World Sports report, Barcelona clearly stated that they had no intention of selling Araujo, and neither the sports department led by Deco nor the coach Frick supported him to leave the team.

Indeed, due to his injury while playing for the national team last summer, the season started in poor form. In January, Juventus' interest in him also made him uneasy, but in the end he stayed at Barcelona and renewed his contract with Deco's quick operation. However, during the negotiations, Araujo's agent won a clause: if the transfer is made within the first two weeks of July, his termination fee will be reduced to 60 million euros.

Club admitted that Arauho performed poorly this season. However, they also noticed the unfair negative impact of Kubazi's sudden rise on Araujo. Social media and public opinion praised the youth player, while Araujo, by contrast, was severely criticized.

But in Barcelona's view, from a defensive perspective, Araujo is the best central defender in the team. Although the team's defense is not good this season, it is not the responsibility of a player. In fact, offside tactics are very effective at the beginning of the season, but as the opponent finds a way to crack it, its effect gradually weakens.

When analyzing Araujo's season performance, the club admitted that he should be more determined at some moments, such as the fourth goal he lost in the semi-finals of Inter Milan. But I also remember his appearance in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid and his outstanding performance in substituting Ku and Brazil in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. All these prove his worth.

Club believes that retaining Araujo is a priority because he plays an irreplaceable role in important matches such as the Champions League. The club thought he was better than trying to bring in the towers and would not consider selling him.

Considering that Inigo Martinez is 34 years old, Christensen may also leave the team this summer, and the central defender position is not sufficient. But if Araujo activates the 60 million euro termination clause, it will depend on the player himself rather than the club.

Sports department believes that letting Araujo go would be a mistake, because if he joins a club like Liverpool or Inter Milan, he may become the best central defender in the world. They think he should be helped to adapt to Frick's style because his physical fitness is excellent.

For example, his speed and space fill ability are outstanding. According to club data, Araujo is the fastest central defender in the world in high intensity state, with a maximum speed of 34 km/h, and such talent should not be wasted.
