The former Arsenal player is probably not a long-term option at the Camp Nou because he only signed a one-year contract there, but Araujo might be.

After failing to reach a deal with LA Galaxy this summer, Barcelona will reportedly keep an eye on Araujo, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

However, Romano isn’t yet disclosing which other teams might be interested in the 21-year-old defender. Barca aren’t the only ones interested in the defender.

With players like Nelson Semedo and Sergino Dest coming and going in recent seasons, right-back has long been an area of concern for Barcelona.

This season, Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde have both played in the position, but it appears that Bellerin may be the next to give it a shot after making a late transfer.
