Fabrizio Romano confirms Raphinha's contract until 2030 with Barcelona
At the Camp Nou there is a tense anticipation as the players, after training, once again take in the empty stands. In the middle of this moment the club announced that a central goal of the season – the agreement with Raphinha – is finally sealed.
Contract Details and Timeline
According to Fabrizio Romano, the official confirmation is expected later this week, with a possible announcement date mentioned for Friday. The 29-year-old Brazilian has already signed a new work paper that ties him to Barcelona until June 2030.
Performance and Significance
Raphinha, who arrived from Leeds United in July 2022 for €58 million, has already scored 14 goals in just 8 games this season. His previous contract ran until June 2028, but the new agreement extends his stay by another two years.
Barcelona fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as the attacking player remains with the club. Alongside Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Pedri are also in the focus of the Catalan attack, as a photo by Juan shows.
Since his debut, Raphinha has played 185 official matches, scored 89 goals and provided 62 assists. The numbers underline his key role in the current setup.
The official announcement will, if everything goes according to plan, take place later this week, securing the player's future until 2030.
