Barcelona's financial conditions rule out Star Defender till January 2025
- Barcelona will not register Ronald Araujo for the first half of the season.
- However, considering Barca's financial conditions, it might prove fatal for FC Barcelona.
Not long ago, reports indicated that the leader of Barcelona's backline would be unavailable for squad selection for the next 4 months, until December. Though Ronald Araujo's unavailability has caused a huge setback for FC Barcelona, the Blaugrana club has now decided to act upon possible solutions to their ongoing financial constraints.
Barcelona's financial conditions rules out Ronald Araujo till January
The condition of Barca's flaccid financial situation isn't unnoticed, which was one of the major reasons why Nico Williams's deal turned cold, and the club has still been trying hard to comply with the FFP rule. As a result of this, the Blaugrana club still has many important players unregistered with La Liga, which Barca needs to solve quickly.
As a possible solution, FC Barcelona has decided to use Ronald Araujo's salary space to register their key players ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign. This will see Ronald Araujo unregistered for the first half of the season with La Liga, meaning the center-back wouldn't feature for Flick's squad till January.
Though this doesn't seem much of an issue, given Araujo would return after December, it might prove to be a risky move from the Blaugrana club. Analyzing Barca's condition, they are considering selling an important player from the lineup to sign Dani Olmo; chances are that Barca's financial woes might not have been resolved by then.
Moreover, nobody prefers to move out of FC Barcelona's playing XI, making it difficult for the club to extract some cash flow to ease out the club from difficult conditions. Thus, it could be a risky move since it is not certain that he can be registered in the winter market. As of now, the harsh truth is that Barca don't have a defender having the caliber of Ronald Araujo, and his absence might prove fatal for FC Barcelona.

Overall, it wouldn't be a safer option for the club to risk an important player like Ronald Araujo; however, the situation only allows the same. Barca would hope that the club's financial conditions improve and they have Araujo available for the second half of the 2024/25 campaign.
