Ronald Araujo is ready for the challenge before he brought himself back in Barcelona who will start next season.
Hansi Flick enjoyed an excellent first season in Catalonia, while the German coach insured a trophy, including the La Liga title, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.
The club has so far been withheld in the summer transfer market, where Joan Garcia arrives from Barcelona and Nico Williams rejects a movement for the second season.
Van Flick is not expected to bring a new center back, because he is happy with his current options, but Araujo has to do work.
Araaujo is regularly connected to a step away from Barcelona with constant swirling rumors about a move to the Premier League of Serie A.
He signed a new contract until 2031 in January, but in the first half of July a release clause fell, which could leave between € 60 million and € 70 million.
However, the first choice of Araujo was always to stay in Barcelona and to fight to regain his starting place.
Pau Cubarsi has emerged as the first choice in the heart of the defense of Flick next to the experienced figure of Inigo Martinez – but Arajo wants to change that.
Araujo's best hope to reversal over Martinez is to stay fit, on the back of an injury disturbed year for the Uruguay International, and his preseason plan takes shape.
As a statement of his intention, the 26-year-old started two weeks earlier before the preseason than his teammates and he has made sure that he will be at full power again.
'Do you know what you're going to see this year? My Prime [he quipped whilst pointing to a bottle of Prime]. “
ARAUJO will become a member of the rest of the Barcelona next week for the preseason matches in Japan and Zuid -Korea.
