Araujo, who did not play against Cádiz (2-0) due to suspension, joined Barça at the end of August 2018 from Boston River of Uruguay. He signed for five seasons (until June 2023) and Barça paid €1.7 million plus variables up to a maximum of €5.2 million. In April 2022 he signed a new contract until June 2026, increasing his clause from €200 million to €1 billion.

In any case, he assured at the end that “the sending off will not cover up the happiness of my debut at Camp Nou”.
