Barcelona must ensure their future is secured in advance as they prepare for the upcoming season. No longer the financial powerhouse they once were, they must adjust their plans accordingly, but this requires taking crucial steps.
One such step is potentially selling a key player, with reports indicating that Ronald Araujo could be a prime candidate for a summer transfer, with Bayern Munich showing significant interest.
However, Bayern may encounter difficulties in securing Araujo’s services, suggesting a challenging negotiation process. Additionally, any interest in 17-year-old Pau Cubarsi is likely to be rebuffed, as his future appears to be firmly tied to Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo, both Araujo and Cubarsi are integral to Barcelona’s future defensive strategy. As a trusted captain and star player, Araujo provides the stability and leadership that a young talent like Cubarsi requires. Their partnership on the field has shown promise, with their skills complementing each other well.
Barcelona believes that Araujo and Cubarsi possess the necessary attributes—speed, composure, aggression, quality control, and elegance—to form an exceptional defensive duo. They envision these two players leading the team in the near future, drawing parallels to the legendary partnership of Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol.
Instead of Araujo and Cubarsi, other players are being considered for potential departures from the club. Additionally, a certain French player might be open to leaving due to the club’s overcrowded roster.
