Barcelona player wants to buy club

Julian Araujo's future at Barcelona appears uncertain following limited playtime in pre-season friendlies, with several La Liga clubs, including Sevilla and Real Betis, monitoring his situation as he aims to prove himself before the transfer window closes. Meanwhile, former Espanyol striker Martin Braithwaite, who recently left the club to join Grêmio, is reportedly considering buying shares in Espanyol after expressing dissatisfaction with the club's management. Braithwaite's departure was influenced by conflicts with the club's hierarchy, and his wealth, accumulated through diverse investments, positions him as a potential new owner. Additionally, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly exploring a swap deal involving Real Madrid's Rodrygo Goes for Julian Alvarez, who has expressed discontent with his playing time at City. Rodrygo, despite being a key player for Real Madrid, may see his opportunities diminish due to new signings, complicating any potential transfer negotiations. Ancelotti's comments suggest he may not seek to extend his managerial career beyond his current contract with Real Madrid, which runs until 2026.
