Last week, Barcelona finalised the loan exit of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has joined Girona for the rest of the season.
The 33-year-old chose to move after being told he would not be counted on at the Spotify Camp Nou, as Hansi Flick is proceeding with Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny as his first team goalkeepers.
The departure of ter Stegen left Barcelona without a club captain, a position that the Germany international had held since August 2024 after replacing Sergi Roberto – he has been stripped of the captaincy last summer when he refused to allow the Catalans to use his salary towards registering Joan Garcia, but was reinstated a day later.
He will take it back when he returns after his Girona loan spell, but for the time being, Barcelona have a new club captain: Ronald Araujo.
As per Cadena SER, the Uruguayan defender has officially been appointed to the role, with Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Raphinha making up the rest of the captaincy team.
