2023-02-15T14:47:14.613Z


The defender will land in Catalonia to sign a contract until 2026 after his move was disqualified by FIFA due to an 18-second delay • Los Angeles Galaxy from the MLS will receive around 4 million euros


Better late than never:

after an ongoing saga, Julián Araujo, the Mexican defender of Los Angeles Galaxy will sign with Barcelona, ​​Fabrizio Romano announced today (Wednesday).

As I recall, the Catalans tried to sign it already in January, but failed to submit the documents on time - more precisely, they were 18 seconds late.

According to Romano, the talented defender who played at Barcelona's academy in the United States and has shown excellent ability in recent years in MLS is expected to fly to Barcelona tomorrow, and at the end of a crazy saga with FIFA, he will sign a contract until 2026 at the Camp Nou, when the American team will receive a little less than four million euros for him.

As mentioned, at the transfer deadline the Catalans managed to close his signing, but the documents did not arrive in time due to computer problems, according to the club's management.

The team appealed to FIFA, which did not agree with them at first, and the Mexican who was supposed to join the reserve team and be included in the first team if necessary, remained in the United States.

But today the turning point came and according to Romano's announcement, the defender will indeed come and strengthen the Catalans' squad, when his transfer was closed for two million euros in exchange for 50% of his player ticket.

In the agreement with Galaxy, Barça could have paid an additional two million euros to win an additional 40%, and the last ten percent would have remained with the American club.

The Catalans have the right to terminate the agreement at the end of the season and return the player to the MLS club.

In the 2018/19 season, Araujo joined Galaxy's senior team and has since caught the attention of Europe.

He played 100 games in the MLS club, scored two goals and assisted another 14. This season the Mexican started in 32 of the 35 games in which he participated.
