According to AS, Barça will not register Araujo this summer because he is expected to be out for at least four months with an injury.
Araujo will be out for at least four months after suffering a tear in the tendon of his right biceps femoris. This means that Xavi will not be able to rely on him until January, and that’s why Barça have decided not to register him before then. So far, Barça have not registered Vitor Roque and Inigo Martinez either.
In principle, Araujo’s injury will bring the club nearly €1.5 million in net income: Barça will receive €20,000 from FIFA for every day he is absent, up to a maximum of €7.5 million.
During Araujo’s absence, Xavi will consider Koundé, Inigo Martinez, Koundé, Christensen and Christensen to fill the center-back position. Eric Garcia, who was loaned to Girona last season, could also get a chance upon his return.
