While the focus during Barcelona's stay in Jeddah was on the cases of Dani Olmo and Pau Vítor, growing concerns have emerged over the future of Ronald Araújo. The Barça center-back is reportedly considering leaving the club to join Juventus during this winter transfer window.

Everyone Dodges Questions About Araújo

Both Pedri and Barcelona’s coach, Hansi Flick, avoided answering questions about the Uruguayan defender, despite being well aware of the situation.

Amid this uncertainty, and following Barça’s Supercopa de España victory, one particular moment caught everyone’s attention—an interaction between Gavi and Araújo that fueled speculation.

Gavi’s Gesture Toward Ronald Araújo

In a video shared by Movistar+, Gavi can be seen passionately hugging Araújo and urging the fans to give him a big round of applause. With uncertainty surrounding the defender’s future, this could very well be one of the last ovations Araújo receives from the Blaugrana faithful.

Araújo came on as a substitute for Iñigo Martínez, who was forced to leave the pitch due to injury. It’s worth noting that Araújo is still regaining his rhythm after being sidelined for several months.

For now, the rumors linking Araújo to Juventus persist. While Barcelona successfully registered Dani Olmo and Pau Vítor, losing their star center-back would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the club.
