Getty Images SportA fresh start
Araujo, who arrived in England in 2024 following a spell at Las Palmas and time on Barcelona’s reserve team, found minutes hard to come by at Bournemouth despite the club paying close to $10 million for his transfer. His last appearance came in August 2025, when he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
“I’m really happy to join Celtic. This is a top club with high standards, and I’m eager to get to work with my teammates to help bring success to the supporters. I know what’s demanded at a club like this, and I feel ready for the challenge ahead,” Araujo said of the move on the club’s official website.

Araujo becomes only the second Mexican player to wear the Celtic shirt, following Efraín Juárez, now head coach of Pumas, who played for the club in 2010. His arrival also comes at a delicate moment for Celtic, with growing fan unrest over sporting decisions and recent changes in the club’s leadership.
