Barcelona, 17 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona’s Uruguayan central defender Ronald Araujo showed his joy at the new squad reinforcements and wants the “best” to play for the Barça team, which is why he highlighted the level of French defender Jules Koundé, who sounds like a possible reinforcement.
“Everyone knows what I can contribute, but I’m happy that people come to help, that’s the most important thing, to have a competitive team. The coach will have the headache to choose. Koundé is a great player and hopefully the best be here,” he declared once the first training session on US soil was over.
The Uruguayan recognized that the competition is important for the team because it makes you get “the most.” For this reason, he valued the configuration of the team in the central position with the arrival of the Danish Christensen, who reinforces the defense.
Regarding the signings that are already exercising with the team, such as Christensen, Kessie and Raphinha, Ronald Araujo has shown hope with all of them. “I am happy for the people who are arriving. It is important that we can sign,” he said.
Along the same lines, it has been expressed about the Polish attacker Robert Lewandowski, with whom FC Barcelona has an agreement in principle to incorporate him. “If it ends up happening, it will be a joy. We know his quality,” he assured.
“We have a team to compete and win titles. We are working very well and are excited about this new season,” concluded the Uruguayan in the United States, where the Catalan team will play four preparation games before returning to Barcelona and playing for the Joan Gamper Trophy.
