Julián Araujo is a peculiar case within FC Barcelona. Despite having been at the club for more than a year and a half, being recognised by the fans and even having a great relationship with the majority of the squad, the Mexican has not played a single minute in an official match with the Barcelona team. Right now, he is undergoing pre-season training under the command of Hansi Flick with the aim of being considered by the coach, however, his departure to another LaLiga club is on the table.
Following the departure of Yan Couto back to Manchester City and transferred to Borussia Dortmund, Girona are urgently looking for a right-back, and after the great year that the Mexican had on loan at Las Palmas, the club has set its sights on Julián Araujo. For this reason, the Catalan team has put an initial offer on the table of Barcelona for the transfer of the Mexican, which would be 7 million euros fixed plus another 3 in variables, receiving as a response from the culé team an openness to the transfer, but a demand of 10 million euros total, without amounts based on performance.
The transfer is underway and the player’s stance will be key in part: staying at Barcelona, a club with pedigree and power with a chance of winning the title, but with a place as a substitute practically signed, or leaving for Girona, a Champions League club, with fewer chances of achieving collective success, but with many more chances of being a regular starter in the eleven.
