Just when the rumour mill started spinning full speed, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick don show face to address all the whispers surrounding Ronald Araújo’s potential exit from Camp Nou — and let’s just say, he didn’t hold back.
For weeks now, social media and sports tabloids have been buzzing with claims that Araújo could be on his way out of Catalonia. With top European clubs reportedly eyeing the Uruguayan defender, fans began wondering if this was the end of his journey in the famous Blaugrana colours.
Araújo, who just turned 26, didn’t exactly have the kind of season any top defender would wish for. He spent the first half of the 2024/25 campaign battling injuries — and when he eventually returned, omo, his form no really balance like that. He struggled to hit the levels fans had gotten used to, leading to loud calls from some corners of the fanbase for the club to cash in on him.
But pause! Omo this gist dey twist small!
Despite the noise, the claimed internal position from the Barça board has remained firm — they see Araújo as an important figure going forward. And now, Hansi Flick has echoed that same confidence in his latest press chat.
Speaking to journalists earlier today, the former Bayern Munich and Germany national team tactician was asked directly about Araújo’s future, and his reply? “Why would he leave?” 👀
In Flick’s words:
“There are always a lot of rumours, but I haven’t seen any sign that makes me think he’ll go. We have a very complete squad, with even three players for some positions. That’s good for us, it’s going to be a tough season.”
E no even end there. According to reports, Flick has been closely monitoring the physical condition and attitude of every squad member — and sources claim Araújo’s discipline and leadership in training has been top-tier since pre-season began.
Still, not everyone is buying it. Some fans online allege that the club is keeping things quiet for now to avoid a panic backlash, especially if a big-money offer arrives.
Omo, this one go hot if any last-minute twist drops before the window closes.
Stay glued, because as the transfer window continues to heat up, more updates on Araújo and other Barcelona stars are expected to break soon.
