MexicoPlayer Info
Julian Araujo is a Mexican international right-back currently on the books at Celtic FC, known for his explosive speed, crossing ability, and defensive tenacity. The 24-year-old full-back rose to prominence with the LA Galaxy in MLS, where he became a regular starter and one of the league's best young defenders, earning MLS All-Star honors. His performances prompted a transfer to European giants Barcelona in 2023, before joining Celtic on loan to gain consistent playing time at a high level. Araujo made his senior debut for the Mexican national team in 2021 and has since been a regular call-up, featuring in World Cup qualifiers. His career highlights include helping the LA Galaxy reach the MLS Cup Playoffs and making his debut in the UEFA Champions League with Celtic. Individually, he was named to the MLS Best XI in 2021. A modern full-back in every sense, Araujo's greatest strengths are his athleticism, pinpoint deliveries from the right flank, and his improved one-on-one defending.
