Barcelona coordinator Bojan will travel to ‘spy’ on 22-year-old loanee impressing in La Liga

Earlier in the summer, former Barcelona prodigy Bojan Krkic, now working in management, was elevated to a new role.

The Croat was exclusively given the role of observing all the players who have left Barcelona on loan deals this summer.

It appears Bojan has already gotten down to work and is closely monitoring the progress of several Barcelona loanees. One of them is Julian Araujo.

Bojan to travel to Las Palmas

According to Diario SPORT, Bojan is now set to take things a step further by visiting Las Palmas. His objective is to follow the development of Julian Araujo closely.

Barcelona have received good reports from Araujo’s performances in these early parts of the campaign.

One such Barça player who impressed on loan last season was Abde Ezzalzouli. The Moroccan international complained that no one from Barcelona actually came to see him in person.

Taking note of the criticism, Bojan will embark on his first adventure in Las Palmas to keep an eye on Araujo.

Barcelona planning next season with Araujo

The report further points out that Barcelona are planning next season with Julian Araujo, having been left impressed by the performances of the young right-back.

The Mexican international has featured in seven league matches this term, making an impression with his performances down the right flank.

Barcelona consider Araujo to be an option in the right-back position, although the club are prioritising the loan extension of Joao Cancelo.

To that end, Araujo is likely to be considered as a backup for the Portuguese international, which could further solidify Barcelona’s right-back position next season.

However, it will be imperative that Araujo continues his momentum during the remainder of the campaign.
