He's not a kid anymore. At 26 he should be in his prime.
He still has the same major weaknesses he did when he first joined Barca A. Very inadequate on the ball and bad positioning.
If we are going to play this defensive tactic, you need brains even more than athleticism. As Cruyff said, when you start running earlier than other players do, you appear faster.
An offside trap is about brains first, then athleticism. It doesn't matter how fast you are if you can never read the game situation properly. Can we expect him to improve the weakness he has shown for 6 years now?

It was very common back in the day when there was no var and you needed to influence referees.
Araujo started his first team career in Europe in the VAR era, this shouldn't happen

Yeah but now it's retarded.
He doesn't look good but reaction here is overblown. Inigo walks back into the starting 11 for now.
. It's uncanny.

Offside trap needs synchronization and concentration, and A LOT of practice in training
Araujo was out all these months.
He needs time to practice it and learn

Ronald Araújo’s new contract still includes a €1 billion release clause, but for the first 10 days of July, it drops to €70 million. From July 11th onward, it returns to €1 billion.

It's a good deal, if true. Even if he wants to leave in the summer, Barca would never have gotten €70m for him with just one year of contract remaining.

He plays within himself. It is not the same Uruguayo as before his injury. The criticism from the PSG red card and his injuries has led him to be more cautious, less aggressive and more passive.
It is what I feared. We have taken the animal instinct out of the gorilla. Had they done the same to Ramos he would have been regarded as no better than Harry Maguire.
What is left is a shell of a Uruguayo. A travesty. We must take him as he was, with all his faults as well. Because that is when he is at his best.
You have the choice, an amazing defender who will make the odd clanger, or a passive player who is constantly looking for the linesman to defend for him and is no good to anyone.

What we have to do is take the first good form he will have and sell for a good fee. He will fit much better in a defensive side. Man can't even give routine passes without the teammate having to make some lateral or backward steps to control the ball. There's being shite on the ball, then mediocre, decent, good, very good, and world class. He is shite. Straight up 3/10.
