Natan back on Barcelona's radar after Araujo's departure

Barcelona reopens talks with Real Betis to negotiate the signing of Brazilian defender Natan as a replacement for Ronald Araujo, loaned to Liverpool.

By TuFutbolero Newsroom

FC Barcelona turns its attention back to Natan (25 years old), Real Betis centre-back, to strengthen its defence. According to TNT Sports Brasil, the Catalan club is considering the Brazilian defender as a possible replacement for Ronald Araujo, who left on loan to Liverpool.

Journalist Aline Nastari reveals that Natan's name had already been discussed internally at Barcelona, but the situation has evolved: the club has reportedly opened conversations with Betis about the possibility of negotiating a transfer. Previously, the player's agent, André Cury, had offered him to the Blaugrana, highlighting his strong performance in LaLiga and his status as a left-footed centre-back with European experience.

Araujo's departure forces Barcelona to strengthen its central defence. With Hansi Flick in charge, Natan emerges as a name to watch, though the club prioritises other matters such as finding a striker and securing Rodri for midfield.
