I also don't think he can start over current Inigo, mostly because Inigo is better on the ball, and makes fewer errors, so far at least. While being quite strong himself.
The only thing Araujo brings which can be a big asset, is more physicality and pace. While this is helpful, the main thing required from the CBs in this system is calmness on the ball and very very close attention to the offside line and the movements of his teammates. This means you need to have a pretty high football understanding to synch that well with the rest of the backline. No place for heroics. You don't want to be the dumber that breaks the line thinking he can pick up the runner and dispossess him.
Now, if somehow Araujo gets better on the ball and more disciplined in terms of possession, while also ditching his blunders in terms of bad tackles, he can be a joker card defensively. In the sense that, when the offside trap fails due to simply the opponent timing a perfect run, Araujo is best equipped to put that fire out and save our bacon. If he is careful to not bring the player down and get sent off.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.
Araujo was his best being led by Christensen. So in theory he can be aswell with Inigo leading the defence.
But defence is all about form and partnerships, and this seasons is Inigo-Cubarsi until form or injury prove otherwise.
Araujo will have to be very realistic about his chances of breaking in after so long out and just work hard and be patient.
Top top player.

Look at Barca vs RM 4-0 game. That basically proves he can't operate at a high line until proven otherwise. Then of course he self destructs later in the game. He got lost in his own sauce thinking he was the "Vini Stopper."
This isn't Xavi's Barca he needs to be disciplined and technical. One can be learned the other you either have it or you don't by this point. I think he probably won't improve enough on the ball for Flick. Cubarsi is 1000% the RCB going forwards. He is everything needed by a Barca CB. This is uncomfortable to say but Araujo is more like an RM type CB.

You're welcome
He needs to have head on 90 min. Which he rarely does.

But difference is attacker is permitted to make way more mistakes than a defender.
Eric will never be a thing here

Classic lobbying.
He has a lot to prove before starting for Barca again.
