adminA miracle of 18 seconds happened. Right-back Julian Araujo, who played for LA Galaxy, is moving to Barcelona.
Journalist Fabricio Romano, who is familiar with the European football transfer market, said on his SNS on the 15th (Korean time), “Araujo is going to Barcelona. The Mexican right-back transfers to Barcelona tomorrow. After the deadline incident, the deal was finally concluded. Ara Wooho plans to sign a contract until June 2026, and it is lower than the total amount agreed upon with LA Galaxy of 4 million euros (approximately 5.5 billion won). left
Barcelona wanted to strengthen their full-backs at the end of the transfer window last winter. Currently, centre-backs Jules Kunde and Ronald Araujo are alternately placed on the right. In the midst of this, Hector Bellerin, who was sluggish, transferred to Sporting, and Sergi Roberto was not easily recovering in form. In the end, Arauho, a lightback who played for LA Galaxy, was caught on the radar network and proceeded with the recruitment.
Araujo is a promising player who has already stood out in the US Major League Soccer (MLS). Despite being born in 2001, he is accumulating experience enough to play over 100 games in the first team. He was an excellent resource with an outstanding attacking talent, so Barcelona actively approached him. 바카라
Araujo was also positive about Barcelona’s call. The agreement between the two clubs was finalized at the deadline of the transfer market, and it seemed that the transfer would be completed normally.
However, Barcelona were late in submitting the transfer papers. At the time, an error occurred on the Barcelona computer, and the paperwork was sent 18 seconds after the deadline.
Barcelona, who was unfair, made a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA). In response, FIFA said, “Araujo’s transfer is not approved according to the rules. We have notified both Barcelona and LA Galaxy of the decision,” and the transfer seemed to fail. However, as time passed and the authenticity of the incident was found out, FIFA was flexible and allowed the transfer.
In this way, Barcelona has confirmed the signing of the player in a situation where the transfer market deadline has passed.
