Raphinha gives Barcelona clear signal on his long-term future

Raphinha has told RAC1 he would be happy to extend his Barcelona contract beyond its current 2028 expiry and finish his career at the club, according to Barca Blaugranes . The Brazilian is currently tied down until 2028, has started this season in sensational form, and is due back in action against Sevilla on Saturday.

The comments carry extra weight given how uncertain Raphinha's situation looked only months ago. He was linked with a summer exit before ultimately staying at Camp Nou, and his previous renewal already runs through 2028 – an agreement he says he signed without knowing exactly how his body would hold up into his early thirties.
