A journalist discussed the situation of multiple teams in a program column. Among them, the journalist also provided an update on Barcelona center-back Ronald Araújo.
On Araújo’s Situation
Finally, to answer all your questions about Araújo
– I think we need to respect him. There have been many reports about him. What I want to confirm today is that, as reported by some media outlets, Araújo is currently in Tel Aviv. He has arrived in Tel Aviv, Israel, for a spiritual and religious journey.
Araújo is devout. He is going through a difficult personal time. He will stay there for a few days. So Araújo will be in Tel Aviv for a period. He wants to relax and regain his best mental state – that’s the most important thing, everyone. Therefore, Barcelona supports him in doing so.
Barcelona has approved his trip. Obviously, Araújo is not going alone. He informed Barcelona of his plans. Now, Barcelona clearly hopes to see Araújo return in the best possible form. This trip will take a few days. So Barcelona will let Araújo take his time, do what’s best for himself, and come back in good shape, remaining the excellent professional player he is.
So that’s the situation. Barcelona will not put any pressure on him. I also hope everyone will stop putting media pressure on Araújo’s future. In recent days, there have been many reports saying Araújo may leave, that Barcelona will sign a new center-back, and which clubs are interested in him. Now is not the time to focus on these things. Now is the time to relax and find himself again.
