Néstor Araujo faces an uncertain future | OneFootball

One of the players who has undoubtedly been the most criticized in recent years has been Néstor Araujo, a central defender who arrived at the Eagles from Celta de Vigo.

His stay with the team has left much to be desired, he arrived as an experienced defender who would help improve the defense, but he never managed to consolidate himself, being a player who only participated when there were injuries.

To this, we must add the mistake he made in the semifinal against Cruz Azul in the past Concachampions, in which he entered in the last minutes to defend the lead and precisely the goal fell in his area, when he was 'covering' Sepúlveda.

What will happen to Néstor Araujo?

There was a lot of confusion last month, as several assured that his contract expired at the end of June, and in part it is true, but it is until 2026.

Exactly a year ago, the management decided to renew him for two more years, which is why he is still on the team, despite having six central defenders on the roster.

Both management and the technical staff are open to negotiating with other teams, but the problem is that to date, there is not a single concrete offer; there was talk of interest from Santos, but there has been nothing more.

A point that plays in his favor is that they consider him a player who is very good in the locker room, a reason why they have not decided to terminate his contract.

In case no offer arrives, it is most likely that he will stay and we cannot even rule out that he will see minutes during the tournament or the Leagues Cup.
