Franck Kessie will earn 4m + 2.5m EUR in variables at Barca. Araujo's offer is around that as well. The defender has offers for 8m EUR from the Premier League.

@gerardromero


IMHO 6,5 mil with variables is more than a fair offer to Araujo.

Check your sources! Not reliable!

Reliable leaks from last week mentioned our offer to Araujo to be 3m net per season all included

I wouldnt be giving Araujo 6m net a season.

Hasnt done enough yet to merit that particularly when can sell him and have to take that into account.

That might be the improved offer from Barca tbf.

I wish the salaries of all players playing for the top teams in Europe got published but that of course is something personal so kinda shouldn't. I wouldn't mind if it was though!

Swap him for Lucas Hernandez and move on.

Why would Bayern accept that? They're the same club unwilling to pay 20m for Gravenberch and another CB they're linked to. They're some cheap fuckers. More likely to sell Lucas to an English club for more money and then sign some German scrub for free.

Dont really care if Bayern want Araujo. Swap them in/out squad. Replace him.

But wouldnt be against selling Araujo and replacing him with likes of Hernandez and taking profit on the books at moment.

Just don think Araujo is as must keep as a lot of others do.

Like him and some athlete but obvious weaknesses which he may or may not get over to be a top CB.

We surely didn't offer anything up to 5m for Araujo, probably between 3-4.5m net

Eric Garcia is not. Maybe I'm too harsh on Eric, but I don't see any outstanding qualities that makes him stand out like Pique did when he was young and joined us.

I predict he'll end up leaving within the next couple of years. He cannot cope with modern day forwards at an elite level. Doesn't have the pace nor size/physicality to compete. Need at least one.

Worst part about Eric is his slow reflexes, he reads the game well but few seconds too late.
Kid is probably going to get a coaching job very early after retirement, but his football skills aren't just there for a defender.
At some point he might consider switching positions tbh

Garcia isnt the next Pique but he is more than enough to be a good squad player on relatively low wages.

On ball he is best CB Barca have and that matters at times.

His biggest weakness is getting caught too far off strikers and not positioning himself well for ball over top. That and diving in a too often when no need.

Folk go on about his pace but he isnt as slow as is made out.

His biggest weakness is lapses of concentration and just generally being ragdolled off the ball by any half decent pacy or physical striker

Yes wouldn't mind keeping him for next 10-15 years as sqaud player. He hasn't been bad.

Garcia is paid too much for his quality if the rumors about his wages are true. A pretty meh signing overall. Don't think he's much improvement over Lenglet. Same flaws and qualities basically.

Didn't we actually decrease our offer before signing him?

How much do you think Garcia is on at Barca?

In theory he should allow for selling of Lenglet even if same standard.
