While arrivals and departures remain the crux of the Barcelona transfer window at its core, there are various methodologies and means of such transfer operations occurring that see players move from club to club.
Primarily, it is the permanent transfers of players taking place between clubs. However, there also exist many who simply arrive for the short term on a loan basis, something that Barcelona in particular has made use of in recent years to offload surplus players, albeit temporarily.
The most recent subject to such a loan move away from Barcelona is Mexican right-back Julian Araujo, according to an update provided by Achraf Ben Ayad. The journalist states that the player is currently in Las Palmas club facilities and finalizing the details to complete his loan move.
The player was part of the latest Mexico team that ended up winning the Gold Cup, and as a result, was given more time off by Barcelona to rest rather than directly join them for the pre-season tour of the United States of America.
Newly promoted and led by a manager that has spent nearly 30 years in the Barcelona system both as a player and youth team manager, Las Palmas are believed to be a great choice by Barcelona to have their Mexican fullback get his first taste of European football since moving from the MLS.
Current Las Palmas coach Garcia Pimienta and Sporting Director Luis Helguera are already even reported to be discussing how to integrate the Barcelona loaned fullback into their squad for next season as they compete in the 2023/2024 La Liga campaign.
Araujo himself sees positivity in it and looks to make the most out of this opportunity to grow under a manager that understands the Barcelona style of play well and to get minutes in a club playing at the top Spanish level.
