Barcelona will be going into the 2023-24 season without two of their most experienced players from recent years, as both Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba opted to leave the club earlier this summer in order to join Inter Miami.
It also means thatBarcelonahave lost two of their captains, meaning that these positions will be up for grabs to current first team players. Sergi Roberto is expected to be first choice, with Marc-Andre Ter Stegen also in the group, but the other two are yet to be known.
Ronald Araujo is sure to be one of those in contention, but even if he snubbed for the role, he will continue to be a leader on the pitch forBarcelona, as perSport.
“It’s always a pride to be captain of this team, but it’s not up to me. It’s something that people other than me will decide. I consider myself a leader with the role or not. I consider myself a born leader and that will always be the case.”
There is little doubt that Araujo will be aBarcelonacaptain in the future, and he could be one in the next few weeks. Irrespective of whether he is or not, he is sure to continue giving 100% for the Blaugrana for many years to come.
