However, one thing is certain, Araújo will become the fourth Uruguayan to represent Liverpool and, in some cases, he has big shoes to fill. Sebastián Coates— Liverpool FC USA (@LFCUSA) March 21, 2024Sebastián Coates was not the best player Liverpool have ever had, but he scored one of the best goals in the club's illustrious history.



Fair to say, Araújo will be hoping for a more distinguished Liverpool career than Coates. During his time on Merseyside, Suárez was the best centre-forward on the planet, it is just a shame one could not say that about very many of his team mates.

Well, if Araújo leaves Liverpool as beloved a figure as Suárez, he'll prove to be an incredible signing. The pair have played 13 times together, three for Barcelona and ten for the national team, and given Suárez's legendary status, Araújo will be delighted to follow in his footsteps.
