Barcelona faces tough decisions this summer as they grapple with financial challenges, considering the potential sale of Ronald Araujo.
Since Lionel Messi’s departure in 2021, the club has battled economic woes without parting ways with key players, but the upcoming transfer window may mark a shift in strategy.
The Catalan giants find themselves €200 million over their salary limit, necessitating significant sales to comply with regulations and register new signings like Vitor Roque and Inigo Martinez for the following season.
Araujo, following Barcelona’s victory over Napoli, hinted at the uncertainty surrounding his future, stressing its dependence on the club’s decisions.
Reports from ESPN suggest that Barcelona is open to selling Araujo if a suitable offer arises.
Internally, the club deliberates between offloading the Uruguayan defender or Frenkie de Jong to address financial imbalances. They aim to rectify their financial situation through strategic player sales.
