News broke on Thursday night regarding Barcelona’s keen interest in signing German centre-back Jonathan Tah, whose contract is set to expire next summer.
As the Blaugrana seek to bolster their defensive lineup, Tah’s potential arrival raises questions about the future of existing players within the squad.
Barcelona has already signaled that Eric Garcia could leave in January, and with Tah on the horizon, Sporting Director Deco is reportedly planning to sell another centre-back.
Pau Cubarsi is expected to have a long-term future at the club, while Inigo Martinez is likely to stay due to coach Hansi Flick’s confidence in him.
As a result, one of Barcelona’s current defenders, Ronald Araujo or Andreas Christensen, may be moved on.
Both are under contract until 2026, with talks ongoing for Araujo’s renewal, but no discussions have been held with Christensen’s representatives.
Araujo’s contract renewal could prove challenging, as his high financial demands and interest from other clubs complicate negotiations.
Should Araujo’s contract talks falter, he may become the prime candidate for departure, with Christensen possibly being asked to seek opportunities elsewhere.
