Raised in the northern Uruguayan border town of Rivera, Araujo joined Boston River and then Spain's Rentistas before Barcelona signed him for their B team in 2018, where he was fast-tracked to the first squad. Towering, quick and fierce in the tackle, he became a defensive cornerstone at the Camp Nou and one of the best one-on-one defenders in the world. He is a key figure in Uruguay's back line for the 2026 World Cup.
- Came through Barcelona's reserve side after moving from Uruguay as a teenager
- Known for his recovery pace and one-on-one defending
