‘Details to be resolved’ – Barca to securing new deal for Ballon d’Or candidate

  /  autty

The good news continues to flow for Barcelona, after they all but secured the LaLiga title on Sunday with a win over Real Madrid in El Clasico. Crucial to their efforts was Raphinha, perhaps the comeback season in Europe this year, who scored a brace.

The Brazilian has been inspired this season, commenting before the game that manager Hansi Flick ‘changed his life’. With 57 goal contributions already this season, he is putting up similar numbers to Lionel Messi overall, and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League, who he matched in terms of goals in a single campaign with 14. It looks as if Raphinha will be sticking around for some time too.

The Blaugrana are closing in on a new contract with Raphinha too. That is according to MD, who say that only the details are to be settled before a full agreement is reached. The 28-year-old will extend his contract until 2029, a further two years on top of his current contract.
