Raphinha is shining this season with FC Barcelona, displaying impressive consistency with 21 goals and 10 assists in 31 matches. His performances are drawing serious attention.
Quietly but surely, Raphinha has made his mark at Barça. Now a key player under Hansi Flick and a leader in the locker room, he is increasingly attracting interest, particularly from Saudi Arabia.
In recent months, Raphinha pledged his loyalty to Barcelona. However, after rejecting offers in the past, the Brazilian could once again be targeted with a massive financial proposal in the upcoming summer transfer window. With Neymar’s departure, Saudi Arabia is looking for new Brazilian stars, with Vinicius Jr. also in their sights.
Aware of the looming threat, Barça is keen to extend his contract (currently until 2027) to secure his future and prevent a departure. With its financial situation improving, the club plans to offer him a better salary. Now, the decision is in Raphinha’s hands.
