Caps & goals this season.
R. Araújo is a 27-year-old central defender at Barcelona, rated 64.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 199th of 389 in the La Liga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Araújo.
Judged on this season alone, Araújo graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga, on 5 clean sheets and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 65, 40th of 75 of the 75 centre-backs in the La Liga. At 27 Araújo is in his prime years, and a market index of 118.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Araújo missed 6 games through injury (personal reasons, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 64.6, Araújo carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the La Liga of 75. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~119), then tapers with age. At 27, Araújo sits on 118.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Araújo's projected Rating — 64.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
