Araújo, one of Barcelona captains, has been with the club since 2017 when he initially joined the reserve team. Over the years, he has become a key figure in the squad, amassing 247 appearances, scoring 21 goals, and providing 11 assists. His contributions have helped Barcelona win four trophies, including one La Liga title, two Copa del Rey trophies, and one Spanish Super Cup.
