Julian Araujo’s transfer to FC Barcelona officially off

While it looked like Julian Araujo was on his way from the LA Galaxy to European giant FC Barcelona on the Spanish transfer deadline day earlier this week, the deal has not been completed as the appeal filed by LA and Barça after the deal was done “18 seconds” late was rejected by FIFA.

From a FIFA spokesperson: "FIFA can confirm that the transfer of the player Julian Araujo from LA Galaxy to FC Barcelona was not completed in line with the applicable regulations." Just soul-crushing for Araujo.
