  • Final-third output. 0.5 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.3, Araújo carries the 31st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Serie A of 57. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.5 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
