Barcelona secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Real Betis in the Copa del Rey round of 16, advancing to the quarter-finals. This was their second 5-1 win in a week, following a similar triumph over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
However, in an unexpected turn of events, after the Betis match, Barcelona star Araujo shocked everyone, including German coach Hansi Flick, by informing his teammates in the locker room of his decision to leave the club. Araujo, who had recently earned a regular spot in the starting lineup, apparently does not see his future at Barcelona under the current circumstances.
According to reports from El Nacional, the Uruguayan defender is set to leave in the January transfer window, with Juventus emerging as the most likely destination for his transfer. This sudden departure puts Barcelona in a difficult position as the team navigates through this unexpected shift in player decisions.
