Scout report
R. Araújo is a 27-year-old central defender at Barcelona, rated 63.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Araújo.
Judged on this season alone, Araújo graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, 35th of 72 of the 72 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 27 Araújo is in his prime years, and a market index of 69.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Araújo missed 6 games through injury (personal reasons, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Barcelona finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.1, Araújo carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 72. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
