Raphinha to solidify Barcelona future with long-term contract extension
Barcelona star Raphinha is set to sign a new deal keeping him at the club until 2030 following a historic run of form.
Raphinha is poised to cement his status as a cornerstone of the Barcelona project by signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2030. The formal ceremony, which will include club president Joan Laporta, is scheduled to take place this Thursday at the Spotify Camp Nou offices.
A historic scoring streak
The agreement follows a remarkable week for the Brazilian forward, who recently became the club’s third-highest scorer in Champions League history. His recent brace against Aston Villa brought his competition tally to 23 goals, placing him behind only Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez in the club's record books. Additionally, he has matched Ronaldinho’s total of 94 goals for the club.
"He’s in a great moment. He’s an incredible player."
Hansi Flick
"They’re incredible for us and help us so much. They make the difference and are extremely important to the team."
Fermín López
Manager Hansi Flick has been central to the winger's resurgence, deploying him effectively in a new role as a center forward. With 19 goals in just 13 appearances this season, Raphinha has firmly established himself as a vital asset for the team's future ambitions.
