Raphinha set for Barcelona contract extension and salary boost
FC Barcelona plans to extend Raphinha's contract until 2029. The 28-year-old Brazilian winger has become a key player for the team under coach Hansi Flick. His current deal lasts until 2027, but the club wants to keep him longer.
This season, Raphinha shines with 24 goals and 15 assists in just 35 games. He is Barcelona's second-highest goalscorer and a leader in the locker room.
The new contract will keep him at Barcelona longer and increase his salary starting in 2026. This shows how much the club values what he brings to the team. Raphinha has become one of the most notable players, both on and off the field.
Since joining Leeds United in 2022, Raphinha has adjusted well to his role under Flick’s guidance. He started as a right-winger but now plays regularly on the left side.
Raphinha's great performance this season puts him on track to beat his fellow Brazilian, Vinicius Jr., at Real Madrid, who also aims for the Ballon d'Or award. With this contract extension, Barcelona wants to keep one of its best players for the future. Fans can look forward to seeing more of Raphinha's skills in the coming years.
