Raphinha committed this future to Barcelona this future by signing a new contract that extends his stay in Catalonia until 2028. It is a deserved reward for the 28-year-old, who achieved 34 goals and 22 assists in 56 performances in 56 performances in the course of the 2024-25 season, which eventually helped Hansi to reach a domestic trait.
According to MD, Raphinha spoke with the official media channels of Barcelona in the aftermath of signing his new deal, which will keep him in the club for another year – his previous deal would expire in 2027. He revealed that it was an easy decision to extend his stay because he had felt a lot of confidence.
“I feel that the club and all responsible people trust me for the second time and this is very satisfactory and very special for me. I am happy that I feel like one of you for another year. I would give everything for this shirt, in training and in competitions. In some I am better than in others, but the desire to win is always my main target.”
Raphinha also sent a message to the abundance of clubs that reportedly wanted to sign this summer – including Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
“I hope to keep 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 about his excitement when returning to the Spotify Camp Nou, which Barcelona hopes to do in the early stages of the 2025-26 season (probably in September or October).
“I'm looking forward to playing at home again, we always want to be there for our people.”
