Barcelona is close to reaching a final agreement with Brazilian winger Raphinha to renew his contract until the summer of 2029, amid a mutual desire from both parties to continue, despite some final details regarding the release clause remaining.

Raphinha, whose current contract ends in June 2027, will move to the higher tier of the salary scale within the team after proving his worth this season with his outstanding performance and commitment both on and off the field.

Negotiations began last March and have gone smoothly, and the player has previously expressed his clear desire to stay, confirming before the last Clasico that renewing his contract is what he is currently thinking about.

Despite receiving tempting offers from Saudi clubs, Raphinha chose to continue with Barcelona, preferring the sporting project over financial temptations, especially with the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which he aims to reach as a key player in the Blaugrana squad.

The Brazilian star has become an important element in Barcelona's lineup, and he hopes to continue his successful journey with the team and write new chapters in his career with the Catalan club.
