Raphinha committed this future to Barcelona this week by signing a new contract that extends his stay in Catalonia until 2028. It is a deserved reward for the 28-year-old, who has racked up 34 goals and 22 assists in 56 appearances over the course of the 2024-25 season, which ultimately helped Hansi Flick’s side achieve a domestic treble.
As per MD, Raphinha spoke to Barcelona’s official media channels in the aftermath of signing his new deal, which keeps him at the club for an additional year – his previous deal was due to expire in 2027. He revealed that it was an easy decision to extend his stay, having felt a lot of trust from within.
“I feel that the club and all the people responsible trust me for the second time and this for me is very gratifying and very special. I’m happy to feel like one of you for another year. I would give everything for this shirt, in training and in matches. In some I’m better than in others but the desire to win is always my main objective.”
Raphinha also sent a message to the plethora of clubs that have reportedly been looking to sign him this summer – among them, the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
“I hope to continue giving our fans a lot of joy. My dream is to be here until the end of my career and to do it at my best level.”
He also spoke of his excitement at returning to the Spotify Camp Nou, which Barcelona are hoping to do in the early stages of the 2025-26 season (likely to be in September or October).
“I’m looking forward to playing at home again, we want to always be there in front of our people.”

Funny how you mention ceballos having no identity when he’s considered a very good player among fans, he does not easily lose the ball and provides good passes, as for odegaard, we sold him like you wanted, look how he’s performing in Arsenal. As for brahim diaz, I’ve seen him play most games when he’s not injured and he is a key difference maker. Arda will be enabled in time, I’ve already seen him perform a bicycle this year and have seen him score a banger in the same match. You really do not know what you’re talking about. You speak of Hazard as if you didn’t know he was injured. Bale has achieved so much with this club, but you only have a good argument in bale, he should have gotten more chances.
Only takers like you say shit those players are all unhappy with the playing time they getting your cebalos an academy player who can even start in Arsenal 🤣 Dias looks happy to you right ? Guler is happy right ? Endrick ? Better shut up

Not all team is Madrid who put players on bench to suffer always same lineup all season, we rather sell players than waste career.
Imagine if we sold Raul, Mercelo, Varane, Casemiro, Velverde, Casilas etc cos we were as impatient as Barca. I don't know how old u are but Marcelo stayed on the bench for almost 3 years watching Carlos play.

If you have an unbiased mentality you should not have mentioned Ceballos and Bale in this equation. I don't have time to waste with you. Believe what you want. Time will answer you like it to those that questioned why Raul ,Marcelo, Varane and Vini were on the bench then @ 18.

Barca contract isn't something anybody can take seriously. Barca can extend your contract or buy you this season and sell you the next season. Before you begin to insult me, pls proof they didn't do it to Kessie, Romelu, Their coach Xavi and most recently Victor Roque.
Ya right.......we don't keep players who don't perform.....as simple as that......players are not here on a holiday package
