Barcelona have confirmed that defender Julian Araujo has left and joined Premier League side Bournemouth for a fee of €10 million.
Araujo had been hoping for a first-team chance under Hansi Flick in the new season, after spending last year out on loan, but is now heading for a new challenge in England. There are no buy-back or sell-on clauses in the deal.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
“FC Barcelona and AFC Bournemouth have reached an agreement for the transfer of Julián Araujo to the English club for 10 million euros.
“FC Barcelona publicly expresses its gratitude to Araujo for his dedication and commitment and wishes him every success in the future.
