4 - Ronald Araújo

Looked great here but not much of a sample

I mean winning those aerial duels against these dudes who are probably part-time taxi drivers is not much of an achievement

I would honestly give him a shot against Bilbao, good opportunity to determine his current abilities and see if he can play in the league (where we simply can't make any blunders now, so would rather risk it in Supercopa where I don't think he would ultimately cost us the game either).

Top target for Juve this transfer window, per Fabrizio

Still not really sure if it's just a loan deal or they want to get him permanent

Why would we agree for a loan? We're stupid but not that stupid (hopefully). They probably want to sell him and replace him with Tah but even that's stupid. Finally after decades of soft or nonexistig CB we got this monster and we want to sell him.

I always expected he'll extend in the end but this looks serious. Fabrizio doesn't say what Araujo wants, hope he says no.

Yeah it mostly depends on Araujo now, if he wants to leave Barça will listen to the offers and he'll probably go

Could be one of his last matches for us if he starts tonight :ohmy:

I think Barca offered him a wage under what he deserves and they want to sell him for a few years now. He's not a La Masia Catalan golden boy so he's one of the few that can bring them some money while also agreeing to leave because he's a professional with ambition who wants to play.

I take it back if he's demanding a huge salary and that's the reason that the renewal didn't happen but I'm 99% sure that is not the case.

He's indeed a monster. Getting two absolutely stupid red cards in two vital games.
It's funny how people always use beast or monster to describe this guy, it's very accurate, but not in the way they think.

I liked him playing for Uruguay, but anyone who thinks he won't get exposed at the top level again or is the "best defender ITW", knows nothing about defense.

Selling him now and getting someone that doesn't have injury or decision making problems is the most obvious move. Value has already gone down.
