The Brazilian, who is having an outstanding season with 24 goals and 15 assists in 35 matches, is currently under contract until 2027. However, the club wants to extend his deal by an additional two years. From 2026, Raphinha will also receive a salary increase.
There were reports in the summer that Barcelona was open to selling Raphinha, but his performances this season have significantly changed his situation at the club.
At 28 years old, the Brazilian, who is also one of Barça’s captains, would be 32 by the time his new contract expires in 2029, should he agree to the extension. Raphinha joined Barcelona from Leeds in the summer of 2022. The deal was worth a fixed sum of €58 million, with an additional €9 million in bonuses.
