Rumors that Barcelona's 'starting price' is 50m :clown: :clown:
Which means we will end up selling him on something like 30m + 5m variables.
Compare that to Perez selling Casemiro 3 years ago for 70m

Fatporta pushing out one of the best CBs in the world to cover up the financial holes he created ON THE CHEAP
Vote of no confidence can't come soon enough

Araujo is a good player but not without weaknesses.
First and foremost, he's injury prone. There's never been a season when he did not miss some part of it due to injuries. It's very difficult to build a team with fully fit players as it is. And it is even more difficult to build a team when you can't really on a player not to miss a big chunk of a season. In that sense he is not like Kounde. Every season there is some injury that prevents him from playing in important matches, which is frustrating for a lot of people.

It doesn't help that he is willing to play for the national team even when injured. Having another Umtiti or Luke Shaw on a long contract, will not help Barca neither financially nor in the sporting sense.

Araujo is bad on the ball or, lets just say, seems to lose his composure when is targeted or pressed. PSG match was a clear evidence of it.

Sometimes he is also unreliable and can lose his head during an important match, can easily get a red card or such. Sergio Ramos also got a lot of red cards. But at least when it was important, he always delivered important matches.

On the plus side, he's fast, athletic, loved by teammates, which makes selling him a difficult decision. And that decision needs to be thought through very well. But at some point Barca needs to learn how to do smart business like Real Madrid and papa Perez. Buy low and sell high, sell players even if it seems they can still deliver. One of the biggest mistakes of the Barto era, wasn't getting rid of players when it was time such as Alba, Pique and others. To be honest, the list could be infinitely long. And then you are stock with players who are also on very high wages and who nobody wants even your club.

For the love of God, please don't put Ramos in the same sentence as Araujo. That is pure sacrilege. One is a bonafide legend and competitive animal. The other is a soft pussy who's injured alot and can't take criticism. Ramos was a cunt but was always true to himself.

Wouldnt mind selling him. He was our future and all, hence was asking for 100mil. But if he doesnt want to renew anything over 70mil is good for us.
Guy has fallen out of being a undisputed starter and leader for me. His antics after the PSG match, his fuck ups and his injury proneness has soured me a little bit on him. With no backup of Cuba and Inigo, we are still in league contention and playing a cup final.
So its not that Araujo is a must. He's not an undisputed starter anymore. And if it was me, I would have Cuba and Inigo ahead of him at this moment.
Inigo is a much better leader than him. And he will be with us till 2026.
Get a backup like Tah for cheap, get back Faye who is also Leftfooted like Inigo in 2025 and we good. While having Christinsen and maybe Garcia.
We much rather reinforce our Fullbacks with the money, which is more important than the CBs we have now.

I really think it would be a very bad choice to let araujo go, if he had a long contract. But with 1,5 years to go it is important to sell him for 50+. If we wait till sommer and there is no contract extension his price would be about 30 mio. I think he wants to get a very high salary so its hard for us to renew next year cause there are also yamal, pedri and gavi Extension next year. Juve is allowed to pay more because in Italy there are tax breaks for new foreign players so there is a better brutto/netto ratio for him.

Another option for us next year would be to play cubarsi and kounde and buy a new right back.
