If on the sporting level, Ronald Araújo’s injury is a big blow for FC Barcelona, it was also for a time on the administrative level. Sport reports that the Catalan club has considered deregistering the 25-year-old from La Liga until this winter, with the aim of registering their new recruits this summer. All this, with a view to financial fair play. An idea that can be explained by the long absence of the Uruguayan, who suffered a right thigh injury during the Copa América and whose return is expected in January 2025.
Ultimately, the 25-year-old defender will remain registered and Barça will use ” up to 80% of his salary » to register the new players in the list for the Spanish championship. FC Barcelona had already used this method to recruit Vitor Roque with the salary space freed up by Gavi’s injury. Also according to the Iberian media, four Barcelona players have not yet been included in this list: Iñigo Martínez, Vitor Roque, Pau Víctor and Marc Casadó.
