""We have to support Araujo. He expressed his gratitude to me and said he'd be motivated again. These are delicate matters, and we have to let the professionals handle it. He's a very sensitive and emotional man. He sent me a kind message. "He's a player we need. We don't have anyone with his characteristics. He had the misfortune of going in too aggressively. He shouldn't have been shown the first card, and he's upset. Flick and Deco are working on it.""
""Deco is working hard. There may certainly be opportunities in the market. Everything has to be thoroughly studied. I can't say who we will sign, but we will be ready," he said."
""Flick is getting the most out of our players. Gerard Martin as a left-sided centre-back and Eric is very versatile.""
""Next Thursday we will present the agreement for his renewal.""
Barcelona may pursue a centre-back in the January transfer window after losing Iñigo Martínez and with Ronald Araújo sidelined for mental-health recovery. Deco is exploring market opportunities and will study any option thoroughly before decisions are made. Hansi Flick is adapting the squad, using Gerard Martín as a left-sided centre-back and relying on Eric García's versatility. The club plans to present Eric García's contract renewal agreement next Thursday. Joan Laporta stressed unconditional support for Araújo, calling him sensitive and emotionally affected while emphasizing his unique characteristics and importance to the team. The club will evaluate Robert Lewandowski's future and consult Deco about potential summer replacements.
