Barcelona considers Natan for defense after Araujo's loan to Liverpool

FC Barcelona is linked with Natan, a 25-year-old center-back at Real Betis, as a potential replacement for Ronald Araujo, who has joined Liverpool on loan. Barcelona reportedly viewed Natan's profile positively during internal discussions, especially given his left-footedness. The club has initiated talks with Real Betis regarding a possible permanent transfer. Although Araujo's departure has increased the urgency for defensive reinforcement, Barcelona is presently prioritizing other signings, including a forward. Natan remains a focus but is not an imminent addition to the squad.
